The Yellow Ladybugs Conference is a fantastic event dedicated to improving support and understanding for Autistic girls, women, and gender-diverse individuals 🐞✨

While the insights shared are invaluable, engaging with conference material in isolation can be a missed opportunity for deeper learning. I know most of us would love to have been there in person, Newcastle Therapy is hosting a local watch party to bring people together, facilitate shared discussion, and turn the conference’s neuroaffirming principles into practical, local action.

Collaborative Learning 🤝

This event is for those who value collective knowledge and most benefit from applying learning through open discussions. Many of us process information best through dialogue and shared perspectives. If you couldn't attend the conference in person, or simply find that your best ideas happen when debriefing with peers, this meet-up provides the perfect environment to soak up the highlights alongside your local community.

Supportive Environment 🌿

Our clinic in Mayfield provides a warm and welcoming setting for this event. We understand that the content discussed at the Yellow Ladybugs Conference is both significant and deeply personal. Because of this, we’ve created a safe, sensory-friendly, and comfortable space where you can engage fully with the material. It is the perfect backdrop for the open, honest discussions and meaningful collaborations that arise when we learn together.

What to Expect ✨

The day is focused on shared discovery. We will get together to watch a selection of key presentations, using them as a springboard to share our own insights and perspectives. Rather than just observing, we’ll collaboratively discuss our key takeaways and brainstorm how we can apply this learning directly to our professional practice and community support. It’s a chance to pool our collective wisdom and plan practical ways to implement neuroaffirming change together.

How to Join Us 📩

We will be hosting this event from 9am-3pm, with a lunch at 12pm. You can join anytime that suits you. While the event is casual, please RSVP for catering purposes and to help us manage the space. You can register via emailing: admin@newcastle-therapy.com.au.

We look forward to collaborating with you and strengthening our local network of neuroaffirming practice!
