Neurodivergent people in a neurotypical world face unique challenges when navigating a suicidal crisis. The busy, bright, noisy Emergency Department does not serve as a safety scaffolding, if anything could perpetuate the crisis or actually cause a melt down while waiting. Shazzy shares many such insights both from her lived and carer experience as well her quarter century of professional expertise.
Shazzy Tharby is a UK trained and credentialed Counselling Psychotherapist and Mental Health Nurse. Shazzy is autistic and ADHD herself and has autistic and ADHD children and therefore understands the neurodivergent (ND) experience from both a personal and professional point of view from many angles. Shazzy works from a neurodivergent affirming perspective. Learn more about Shazzy and her services at https://positivelyliving.com.au/
