Using grant funding, we have created a group for neurodivergent adults and their caregivers to learn more about what a truly healthy, safe relationship looks and feels like. We will be running a six week educational workshop for neurodivergent adults to learn about healthy relationships, while simultaneously running a group for paid and unpaid caregivers to learn how to better support these relationships.
Why not just focus on educating neurodivergent adults? Education doesn't happen in a bubble, and we can't expect people to make changes and practice what they learn if their environments and supports are not reinforcing this information. Each adult will be required to have at least one caregiver (parent, guardian, family member, respite provider, home staff, or other support person) attend a separate weekly training to learn what they can do to support healthy relationships and sexuality.
Neurodivergent group meets Mondays 4:30-5:30 on Google Meet starting March 11th, for six weeks.
Caregiver group meets Wednesdays 4:30-5:30 on Google Meet starting March 13, for six weeks.
Requirements:
Neurodivergent adult, 18 and older, living in Wisconsin
ND adult has Medicaid (this will not be billed, but is a requirement of our grant)
1-2 caregivers, paid or unpaid, who can attend all six caregiver trainings
Access to Google Meet and internet connection
Caregivers and ND adults will need to complete pre and post group questionaires, as a requirement of our grant funding
