Wellbeing Support for Individuals — Inclusive Practice for Organisations

Weekly update Monday 28th September

Last week was my first week properly back at work after some time off — and my brain had certainly been storing up ideas!

We finished one app, built another interactive workbook, and somehow designed the concepts for another three.

And I realised this is probably where the “Whizz” in Wellbeing Whizz really comes into its own.

I love delivering training and coaching, but I also love taking the things I notice through that work — the barriers people experience, the things that are difficult to explain, the connections between different parts of neurodivergent experience — and asking:

Could we make this easier?
Could we make this more practical?
Could we build something that helps?

Sometimes the answer is “yes, and then immediately think of another four things!"

This week shifts back towards delivery.

• I'm starting a new Empower Autism cohort, beginning another six weeks of exploring autistic experience, understanding individual profiles and finding practical strategies that actually fit the person.

•  I'll be delivering Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training, bringing lived experience into conversations about better health and social care.

• And on Tuesday I'm presenting to the Derby Wellbeing Collaborative, sharing some of the work I've been developing around wellbeing, reasonable adjustments and practical tools for understanding and supporting neurodivergent needs.

Meanwhile, something fairly substantial is starting at WW HQ this week too, so alongside all of that I'll also be navigating disruption, changed routines and "Having Other Humans Doing Things™" in my house.
