An Ecosystemic Model of Distress, Power, andΒ Mismatch Distress does not originate inside a person like a faulty circuit or a chemical spill. It emerges when a person is required to exist within an unsupported bodymind, within mismatched immediate environments, and within larger systems that hold power over access to care, safety, credibility, and resources. This matters, because where we locate distress determines what we try to fix.

A detailed breakdown of how distress is caused by the cumulative effect of multiple environments existing within a broader ecosystem. Building on Luke Beardon's golden equation, this is the ecosystemic model.

Enhancing Accessibility in Substance Use Services for AutisticΒ Clients This report examines the accessibility of substance use services in Portsmouth for autistic individuals, emphasising the need for tailored environments and continual staff learning. It highlights systemic barriers, advocating for ongoing neurodiversity training and the adoption of the SPACE framework. The findings show accessible care is achievable through collaboration with autistic communities.

This blog houses the full research report from my SCDTP-Funded internship within local substance use services:
