So... what is public healths role in neurodiversity?
I've been conducting a Strategic Needs Assessment recently into this and it's been so interesting π really looking forward to sharing my findings and recommendations.
Public health should be focusing on neurodivergent people. FACTS

Great day walking the initial route of the Baton of Hope Derby and Derbyshire. Nearly slipped on the ice many times, feet hurt but well worth it!
Great day making these initial steps!

We're in the early stages of a Strategic Needs Assessment focusing on Public Healthβs role in Neurodiversity, its vital due to the significant health inequalities faced by ND peoples.

How to engage with men about mental health and suicide prevention?
3/4 of all suicides are men. One way we engage with men is attending football matches with information Zcards.
Club on the front, fixtures on the back, suicide prevention information inside.

ZCards at football matches. Fixtures of the team on the back with mental health and suicide prevention information inside.
We've found it's such great way to engage men in concentration about suicide prevention.
3/4 of suicides are men. It's ok to reach out for help!
Wise words from @allontheboard.bsky.social
Let's not gate keep traits when support ND people, we know traits can differ between people and go hand in hand with conditions. Support the person for what they need.
