Join us for an insightful 3 part series on bringing neuroinclusivity to housing!
In part 3, we will explore scenarios and invite attendees to reflect and ideate on solutions and strategies that have potential to work within their own housing setting. Resources and strategies from lived experience and research will be shared. Participants will be encouraged to plan to advocate for enhanced inclusivity in their networks and contribute to broader conversations about neuroinclusive housing.
