Autistic people across the lifespan experience high rates of mental health challenges, but significant barriers to care remain, as providers often feel ill-equipped to deliver support.
Enter INVEST: Essentials in Neuroaffirming Care, a self-paced program that equips mental health workers, therapists, and caseworkers with the tools to provide effective, neuroaffirming support.
Built on over 20 years of Dori Zener’s clinical expertise and research showing the power of neuroaffirming care, INVEST is one of the first frameworks designed to transform mental health practice.
It provides the knowledge and tools needed to deliver care that empowers neurodivergent clients to thrive.
Through the INVEST framework, which stands for Identify Needs, Validate, Educate, Strengthen and Thrive, participants learn to assess and support growth, foster self-understanding, and build on client strengths.
