Welcome to SENsible SENCO’s partner, Connections in Mind C.I.C!
Connections in Mind is a dedicated Community Interest Company (C.I.C) committed to empowering and supporting the neurodivergent community. Our mission is to enhance understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity while providing the tools and resources necessary for neurodivergent individuals to thrive.
Here’s how we are making a positive impact:
1. Neurodiversity Awareness: We raise awareness of neurodiversity through various channels, including communications, events, and campaigns. Our goal is to foster a more compassionate, inclusive society where everyone feels they belong.
2. Specialist Coaching: We offer high-quality, evidence-led specialist coaching for neurodivergent children and adults. Our coaching equips individuals with the skills to navigate challenges related to learning, work, relationships, and mental health, promoting self-confidence and overall well-being.
3. Technology for Neurodiversity: We focus on developing technology tailored to the specific needs of our community. Our research informs our offerings and contributes to advancements in neurodiversity-focused technology for broader market improvement.
4. Innovative Learning Hub: We maintain an innovative online education hub that employs cutting-edge learning technology. This platform helps neurodivergent individuals learn more about their brains, appreciate their unique qualities, and harness their strengths for improved mental health and societal contributions.
5. Contributing to Research: We actively contribute to the research evidence base, investigating the effectiveness of coaching, training, and community support for those with executive dysfunction. This research enhances the quality of support available to our community.
6. Professional Training: We collaborate with key professionals such as GPs, nurses, social workers, and more to provide high-quality training and build awareness. This leads to better understanding and support for our community, ultimately improving their mental and physical health outcomes.
7. Educational Collaboration: We work with schools, further education, and higher education institutions to raise awareness of executive functioning skills’ impact on learning and daily life. Through training, research partnerships, and consultancy work, we aim to improve educational access and outcomes for neurodivergent individuals.
8. Parental Support: We assist parents in understanding their neurodivergent children’s needs and behaviors, equipping them with effective parenting strategies. This support enhances familial relationships and contributes to improved mental, physical, and educational outcomes.
