Thank You For Making the 2025 NeurodivURGENT Conference "Breaking The Silence and Silos Around Youth Mental Health" A Huge Success!
On July 17-19, in New Orleans, LA The NeurodivURGENT Project convened a three-day, highly interactive hybrid event designed to serve as a catalyst for collaboration around issues that directly impact the plights of underserved youth facing neurocognitive challenges. By intentionally curating interdisciplinary panels, workshops, roundtable discussions and keynote presentations that explore different sides of the same issues, this event sparked innovative partnerships and assisted professionals in gaining better understandings of how their respective roles fit into the larger neurodiversity ecosystem.
Important Conference Links
Participating disciplines include: law/legal profession, education, social work, psychology, neuroscience, public health, policy/public service and medicine.
Using data collected from the event, conference hosts will develop a written comprehensive report highlighting key take-aways. This published deliverable will streamline next steps toward improving the plights of neurodivergent youth.
