At Intersection Rising, we celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives that neurodiverse individuals bring to our world. Neurodiversity recognizes that differences in brain function and behavioral traits are natural variations of the human experience, not deficits to be fixed. Our mission is to create a safe, supportive space where neurodiverse individuals and their families feel seen, heard, and empowered.

What Is Neurodiversity?

Neurodiversity encompasses differences that shape how people think, learn, process emotions, and interact with the world. At its core, neurodiversity challenges the idea of a "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health, education, and societal expectations.

Our Approach

At Intersection Rising, we:

• Honor Individuality: Every individual is unique. We tailor our support to align with your strengths, preferences, and needs.

• Bridge Mind and Body: Understanding the connection between physical and mental health is key. We integrate evidence-based strategies that nurture both.

• Empower Families: Parents and caregivers play a vital role. We provide education, resources, and coaching to build understanding, confidence, and attunement.

• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Through our network of trusted professionals, we connect families to therapists, educators, and other experts who specialize in neurodivergent care.

Resources and Tools

We offer a variety of services to support neurodivergent individuals and their families:

• Education on Brain and Nervous System Function: Learn how neurodiverse brains work and how to support them effectively.

• Coping Skills Development: Practical tools for managing sensory sensitivities, emotions, and executive functioning challenges.

• Parenting Support: Dive into topics like setting boundaries, fostering independence, and advocating in educational or medical settings.

Why It Matters

Neurodiverse individuals often experience societal misunderstanding, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and feeling "othered." By embracing neurodiversity, we aim to:

• Foster self-acceptance and confidence.

• Reduce stigma and promote understanding.

• Create pathways for authentic expression and achievement.
