📢 Free parent webinar: Supporting Neurodivergent Teens Experiencing Social Exclusion with Dr. Malie Coyne – Clinical Psychologist
Time: Monday January 19th 7.00-8.15pm
Who Should Attend? This webinar is open to parents and guardians of teens and those working with young people.
University of Galway lecturer, best-selling author and parent Dr. Malie Coyne will explore why young people who are autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent can be more vulnerable to social exclusion and loneliness.
She will explain how differences in communication, sensory experience, and emotional regulation can make friendships more difficult to navigate, particularly in today’s online world, where real-life connection is increasingly rare.
She will share compassionate, practical tools for parents and caregivers to help their neurodivergent children experience safety, build confidence, express emotions, and develop meaningful friendships while being their authentic selves. With warmth and hope, Malie will offer reassurance and guidance to help neurodivergent teens move from feeling excluded to feeling connected, finding their tribe and a true sense of belonging.
