#161: Mental Health are NOT just Problems: Empowering Neurodiversity with Liz Day

#161: Mental Health are NOT just Problems: Empowering Neurodiversity with Liz Day

When the Neurodiversity Show was cancelled this year, Dr Martin Bloomfield wanted to pay tribute to Arran Smith's original concept, while keeping part of the conversation alive by bringing together some of the speakers, with the support of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, and created this one-off online event: The Neurodiversity Empowered 2025.

The second of a series of talks from the said event is a keynote speaker Liz Day, focusing on mental health literacy and support strategies for neurodivergent individuals. Liz discusses the importance of recognizing and supporting mental health, not solely as a set of problems but as an overall aspect of well-being. She emphasizes the need for early understanding and support, the significance of resilience, and creating psychologically safe environments. Liz also shares personal anecdotes and research findings, providing practical tools and strategies to empower individuals with neurodivergent traits. The episode highlights the interconnectedness of mental health conditions and the importance of supportive communication and routine-building for both personal and community well-being.
