Mental health support often misses the mark for ND people.
Professionals are rarely trained to understand how neurodivergence affects mental health.
We need early support, not just crisis response.

Autistic and neurodivergent people face critically high rates of suicidal ideation and death by suicide.
This is not just a statistic.
It’s a crisis in plain sight.

On 4 Nov, 4–6PM GMT, we’re holding a space for reflection, awareness and connection.
This is not suicide prevention training.
It’s a chance to understand the links between suicide and neurodivergence.

#ALTText Online event hosted by goodconsulting, "Suicide & Neurodivergence." The background is a solid blue, with white and orange text. The central question reads: "What do we miss when we don’t talk about suicide and neurodivergence together?" Event details are listed below: 4th Nov 4–6PM Zoom £96. In the bottom left corner, the speaker is named: Heike Jord Knip. On the right side of the flyer, there is a photograph of Heike, wearing glasses, a suit jacket, and a collared shirt.
Suicide is not rare in neurodivergent communities.
It’s especially common. Often hidden. Often misunderstood.
We need to talk about it.
