We need to celebrate our differences. Today we had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Kristen C. Eccleston. Discussing our neurodivergent youth and those struggling with mental health needs. She is a published researcher, professor, and school mental health advocate. She shared with us why she choose this as a career and what she thinks needs to be done to remove the stigma and normalize mental health and neurodiversity. Discuss what schools need to do to understand and support neurodiverse students while sharing insights into the link between mental health and neurodiversity as a whole. She said: “Look at your neurodiversity as a superpower….” “I want to motivate and connect with others. Whatever you’re going through, you are not alone.” “We can all be changemakers together” Plus guess what random emoji she picked that represents who she is….
