Building and maintaining relationships can be uniquely challenging for those with neurodivergent experiences. Whether it’s navigating social cues, managing communication, or dealing with conflict, neurodivergent individuals often face obstacles in forming meaningful connections. If you find yourself in this space, our NeuroConnections support group may be exactly what you need.
This 6-week support and psychoeducation group offers a safe, inclusive environment for neurodivergent adults to explore relationship dynamics, develop practical skills, and receive peer support. Participants will gain tools for building, maintaining, and even ending relationships with confidence and authenticity.

Neurodivergent adults aged 18-22 who identify as autistic, ADHD, or experience sensory processing differences.
Individuals seeking support and practical tools for navigating a wide range of relationships, whether it’s friendships, romantic partnerships, or family dynamics.
Those who want to learn new communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and how to advocate for themselves in their relationships.
Who Is This Group Not For?

Those experiencing acute mental health crises and requiring more intensive, one-on-one therapeutic support.
Participants looking for guidance on dating or romantic relationships only—this group covers a range of interpersonal relationships.
Individuals seeking a neurotypical perspective on relationships, as this group centers around neurodivergent experiences.
Those not ready to engage in a group setting or preferring individual therapy.
What to Expect in this support group for neurodivergent adults:
