ADHD Tips

This workshop is for anyone with ADHD, anyone who loves/supports someone with ADHD, and/or anyone interested in neurodiversity. Our workshop is filled with real life examples and insights from people with lived expertise.

Breaking Barriers

Some clients have difficulties choosing between our workshops. Others ask for a sample before deciding which workshops to host. Breaking Barriers offers solutions to both these needs by combining information from our Disability Awareness, Gender + Sexuality, and Imposter Syndrome workshops.

Creating Neuro-Affirming Spaces (Front-Line Providers)

Creating neuro-affirming spaces for front-line providers means intentionally designing environments, practices, and organizational cultures that recognize, respect, and support the full spectrum of neurotypes among both clients and staff.

Crip Kindness

Disabled people have developed ways of being together that recognize people’s inherent worth and values that each individual has to offer. Join us for a discussion about how crip kindness and community care can be transferred to everyday life.

Disability & Environmental Justice

Environmental Justice has an intrinsic connection with Disability Justice. Both movements fight against the oppressions that disproportionately harms people from communities and identities pushed to the margins.

Disability Awareness

People with disabilities represent the world’s largest minority, and the only minority group that any of us can become a member of at any time. And yet they still experience barriers, prejudice, and bias on a daily basis.

Disability History (Canada)

This workshop explores the history and ongoing journey of disability rights and experiences in Canada, spanning from the 1800s to today. We will explore major turning points, such as the creation and closure of institutions, the impact of eugenics policies, and the introduction of key laws like the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Accessible Canada Act.

Gender & Sexuality

This workshop is about the rainbow alphabet: 2SLGBTQIA+ (2 Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic/Agender, Plus). We discuss the spectrum of gender and sexuality, intersecting identities, current language, and ways you can be an ally.

Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome is feeling inadequate, feeling like you aren’t qualified to do the work you are doing, or feeling like you might be discovered as a fraud. A person with Imposter Syndrome experiences self-doubt and often attributes their success to luck or people overestimating their abilities.

Interacting with Hearing Loss

This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn about what hearing loss is like and how to interact with people who have it. It is especially aimed at employers and other people who have the power to change their environments and policies to become more equitable to those that have hearing loss, though it is also helpful for those who have hearing loss or have a loved one with hearing loss.

Lived Expertise Matters

This workshop empowers participants to understand the importance of meaningfully integrating lived expertise into their organizations, services, and communities. Drawing from knowledge and experience with systems, challenges, and barriers, this session explores how lived expertise can drive authentic change and create more equitable and responsive ways of proceeding in our work. LET’S is unique in that all our staff, researchers, and educators are of the identities of the project we are doing (i.e. 2SLGBTQIA+ workshop facilitator is queer, accessibility auditor is disabled, etc.).

Neurodiversity at Work

The workshop offers an overview about neurodiversity and neurodivergent people. We will discuss various communication, working, learning, and interaction styles. Participants will be guided in how they can more effectively collaborate to create an environment that is conducive to all employees.

Understanding Neurotypes

A neurotype refers to a person’s distinct cognitive profile, shaping how they think, learn, communicate, and interact with others. Neurotypes are not rigid categories but exist on a broad, diverse spectrum.

Unlearning Perfectionism

Join us for an engaging workshop in which you will gain a deeper understanding of perfectionism and how to effectively manage it. This interactive session will explore the many ways perfectionism exists in our daily life.
