The Faculty of Public Health, in collaboration with Staffordshire University’s Centre for Health and Development (CHAD) invites you to this online webinar with Dr Victoria Riley, Research Fellow, University of Staffordshire.
In this webinar, Vicky will share findings from a recent project around women’s experiences of living with neurodiversity in Staffordshire. Neurodiversity is often identified in females later in life compared to males due to their ability to mask neurodivergent traits to fit in socially with others.
This session will explore women’s experiences of interacting with support services, and the barriers they face in healthcare and in society.
