Facilitators

Chris (he/him)ÌýI’m a Workplace Anti-Sexual Harassment Educator working in the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO). I’ve spent the last 20 years working with individuals with various cognitive and physical disabilities with a special interest in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. My journey with neurodiversity includes living with Sensory Processing Disorder, OCD, and PTSD. For me, navigating the world with its sights and sounds (especially the sounds!!) can be difficult in a way I often struggle to put into words. I’m excited to co-facilitate this group with Rania and share what I’ve learned in my own life while also learning from group participants.Ìý

¸é²¹²Ô¾±²¹Ìý(²õ³ó±ð/³ó±ð°ù)ÌýHello! My name is Rania (she/her) and I identify as a queer, neurodivergent, Palestinian-Egyptian and Filipino cis-woman. I’m also a Registered Social Worker, counsellor at Counselling Services, UW alum, and co-facilitator of this group alongside Chris.ÌýÌý

I’m inspired by the incredible advocates and scholars of the neurodiversity-affirming movement, sharing their lived experiences and research and shifting the dialogues on what we know and how we think about neurodiversity. It has empowered me to embrace my neurodivergence as a beautiful part of who I am, and that’s exactly what I hope to cultivate with you!ÌýÌý

Who can join?

Open to any and all self-identified neurodivergent UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ students.ÌýNo diagnosis necessary.

About: We’re launching a new initiative in line with the hype of Netflix's Adolescence, a psychological crime drama that explores themes of masculinity, youth, social media, violence, and the criminal justice system. This four-part series (every Thursday in May) will provide an opportunity for us to gather and unpack each episode, with guided conversations on the show's powerful themes around relationships, boundaries, gender, consent, and growing up. This discussion series offers a brave, welcoming space to reflect on the show’s messages and connect them to real-life experiences. Whether you’ve already seen the show, or are watching it for the first time, we invite you to come with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to learn.

Drop in for one session or join us for the whole series - each episode offers a new opportunity to talk, reflect, and grow - open to everyone, students, staff, and faculty.Ìý
