This GovConnect webinar focuses on addressing the critical issue of wrongful hospitalisation for neurodivergent youth. Often, misunderstandings of neurodivergent behaviours or lack of appropriate support lead to unnecessary hospitalisations, causing distress for young people and their families.
The session will cover strategies for preventing these situations, including early intervention, effective communication between caregivers and healthcare professionals, and the importance of building robust community support systems. It will also explore systemic changes needed in healthcare and education to ensure neurodivergent individuals receive the right care in the right settings.
This webinar is designed for parents, educators, healthcare providers and advocates, offering practical tools to reduce wrongful hospitalization and improve outcomes for neurodivergent youth.
