Neurodivergent People Deserve Equitable Opportunities and Brighter Outcomes

Figure 8 symbol in rainbow form.

We provide evidence-based, accessible training and consulting to help professionals like you integrate Neurodiversity-Affirming practices into their services.

Together, we can all shape a future where Neurodivergent people feel seen, valued, and supported.

We’re Anna Clarke & Monique Mitchelson — two Neurodivergent psychologists, united by our purpose to educate and assist professionals like you to integrate Neurodiversity-Affirming principles into their practice.

After meeting at the 2021 EMDRAA Conference, we started talking and quickly realised we had way too many ideas to contain in a single webinar. That’s when Divergent Futures was born!

The Neurodiversity-Affirming Movement is open to everyone—we invite you to join us at the table, to be part of this necessary and exciting change!

Are you a professional seeking to provide inclusive and affirming care for your Neurodivergent clients?

Maybe you’re a business owner, needing to make sure you and your team remain compliant with the current guidelines set by leading organisations?

Perhaps you’re feeling a little (or very!) overwhelmed, or you’re simply unsure of where to start to fill the gaps in your current knowledge?

We’re here to help you!

We take a compassionate and understanding approach to providing you with the education you need to become Neurodiversity-Affirming. Our trainings make it easy and (hopefully) stress-free to upskill in Neurodiversity-Affirming practices, as well as providing simple practical steps to integrate this into your services, so you can better support your clients.

Why learn with us?

How we’re different:

We’re Neurodivergent ourselves. In 2021, we were some of the only openly Neurodivergent psychologists providing EMDR in Australia! Since then, we have dedicated our careers to learning, creating resources (including a podcast, book and peer-reviewed papers) and sharing our knowledge through accessible and evidence-based training and consultation.

Too often we see people claiming to be 'experts' on Neurodiversity, despite a lack of lived experience.

When you engage in learning with Divergent Futures, you’re able to benefit from our diverse experiences and our values of authenticity, evidence, compassion and social justice.

We're here to meet you where you’re at, so together we can create a future that is inclusive!
