five characters each with own unique mental health profiles

Our Mission & Vision

We want to provide information, strategies and resources to help support individuals who have a unique “neurological profile”. The default “neurotypical” profile is that of someone who can “fit in with the herd” – understanding the unwritten “social rules”, recognizing and responding to non-verbal cues, and communicating in the “social-emotional” language that most people use to build relationships with one another. However, some individuals may focus more on sensory information (such as sight, sound, touch) or cognitive facts and logic in their interaction with the world. Others may experience intense mood cycles or sensory sensations / beliefs about reality that do not match the experience of the majority. These neurological differences, or”neurodiversity”, can cause problems for the individual (and those who are in their social circle), but can also be the source of unique abilities that can benefit the larger community. Just as the natural world has incredible diversity that works together to create a beneficial inter-connected eco-system, so our neurological differences can help create a beneficial inter-connected social world.

We provide free resources and support through our library (did we mention they are free!), and through coaching from one of our consultants. Contact them for an appointment or visit our calendar to see upcoming workshops

Stabilizing Someone with Unregulated Moods / Thought (Step 1)

by Dr. Norman | Jan 21, 2022 | Emotive, Imaginative, Mood Disorder, Thought Disorder

It is difficult to know what to do when a loved one has intense mood swings and / or experiences hallucinations, delusions, or psychotic episodes. When these are particularly severe, the individual might have to meet (voluntarily or involuntarily) with a psychiatrist, and might be diagnosed with a mood disorder (such as bipolar disorder or cyclothymia), a personality disorder (such as borderline personality disorder), psychosis, schizophrenia, or other conditions. Some individuals may have some symptoms or traits that meet these conditions, but not enough to meet the diagnostic criteria.
