Neurodiversity Awareness Training
At Silk Helix, we believe that creating truly inclusive workplaces starts with understanding how people think, communicate and work differently.
Our Neurodiversity Awareness Training helps organisations recognise and support neurodivergent talent building confidence, empathy and practical know-how that translates into better working relationships, stronger teams and improved performance.
Our training is all delivered by Jenefer, a qualified HR and neurodiversity specialist, sessions go beyond theory. Jenefer will explore your real-life workplace challenges as well as case studies to provide clear frameworks for conversation and give your teams practical tools they can use straight away.
Training designed for every audience
Neurodiversity awareness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each role within an organisation plays a unique part in creating inclusive cultures, from hiring and onboarding to daily management and employee development.
That’s why we offer a range of in-person neurodiversity awareness courses, tailored to the responsibilities and decision-making of your team members:
For Managers
Give your managers the skills and confidence to support neurodivergent employees day-to-day. They’ll learn how to adapt communication, set clear expectations and create psychologically safe teams where everyone can thrive.
For HR Professionals
Equip your HR team to design inclusive policies, handle disclosures sensitively and implement reasonable adjustments with confidence. This training builds a deep understanding of neurodiversity within the context of employment law and organisational culture.
For Learning & Development Professionals
Help your L&D team embed neuroinclusion into every part of your training and leadership development programmes. We explore how different learning needs affect engagement and provide tools to create training that works for every brain.
For Talent Acquisition and Recruitment Professionals
Enable your recruitment teams to attract, assess and onboard neurodivergent candidates fairly. From inclusive job design to accessible interview practices, this session ensures you hire for strengths and potential, not conformity.
Our Courses
We recently had Jenefer from Silk Helix run the “Understanding Neurodiversity for Managers” training with our team, and it was brilliant. Jenefer has such a warm, engaging style that made the whole session feel really approachable. She broke down complex topics in a way that was easy to understand, and gave us loads of practical tips we can actually use day to day.
Everyone who joined said how much they enjoyed it and came away with a better understanding of how to support neurodivergent colleagues more effectively. It’s a hugely valuable session not just for managers, but for HR professionals too - anyone involved in supporting people and shaping inclusive workplaces would benefit.
If you’re thinking about running neurodiversity training in your organisation, I’d highly recommend getting in touch with Jenefer.
All our courses, whether live or recorded, are delivered by Jenefer Livings who has 20 years experience in HR, having designed and delivered training on the whole range of HR topics for organisations across industry sectors. As Jenefer also provides hands-on consultancy work with her clients she maintains an up to date knowledge and experience that shines through with engaging stories in her training.
With our in-person course we'll work through case studies and discuss real life examples to ensure your managers get learning relating to the types of cases they'll be dealing with.
Why Silk Helix?
All our training is prepared and delivered by me, Jenefer, because you're not getting someone who just reads you the slides. You're getting stories, passion, my energy and engaging discussion. I don't deliver long lectures and use a range of activities to encourage everyone to engage with small and whole group discussions, this is how I ensure your business reality is reflected in everything we do.
My promise to you! There will be no role plays, no embarrassing icebreakers where you have to reveal information about yourself and no one is picked on to speak. In my experience these are the things people dread about training and I see the collective sigh of relief when I start the session with this promise.
I recognise that to get discussion going you need an inviting environment. For in-person training this means a room set up, which includes a supply of fidgets and sweets, usually this in itself creates instant discussion as people enter the room. This sets people at ease and creates an ice breaker of its own.
You get a little hint of my style on our YouTube channel. In-person training is like that just with lots of interaction interspersed. And if you're looking at my webinars or digital courses, they're just like my YouTube channel but with a lot more specific detail and backed up by examples, templates and guides. Webinar sessions also include discussion and interaction to encourage everyone to get involved.
