Kieran and Jodie invite you to explore all things 'autistic masking', with a focus on children and education. with them in the recording of their February 2021 session.
This is the recording of their sold-out February 2021; a semi-structured talk which invited open discussion and questions throughout.
What the session covers:
- What is masking
- Myth busting
- Masking; when does it start
- Why & how masking behaviour is sustained
- Implications of masking long term
- The dangers of unmasking
- Supporting safe unmasking
- Developing mutually respectful relationships
- Saying 'NO'
In order to keep the training accessible it is the same cost, £15, as the live session. The only difference being that as this is a recording you do not have the opportunity to ask questions.
