Building Inclusive Futures: Transformative CPD Training for Supporting Neurodiversity and Wellbeing

In today’s workplaces, universities, and support services, inclusion is a responsibility. As awareness around neurodiversity and mental health continues to grow, so does the need for practical, meaningful training that equips professionals with the confidence and tools to make a real difference.

At Onyx Student Support, we’ve developed a comprehensive CPD-accredited training package designed to empower teams, strengthen support systems, and improve outcomes for neurodivergent individuals and those experiencing mental health challenges.

Why This Training Matters

Too often, neurodivergent individuals and those struggling with anxiety, loneliness, or depression face barriers that aren’t about ability, but about understanding. The gap isn’t willingness. It’s knowledge, confidence, and the right approach. Our training bridges that gap.

What We Offer

Supporting ADHD / Autistic People (CPD)

Gain a deeper understanding of ADHD and autism, moving beyond stereotypes to practical strategies that genuinely support individuals in education and workplace settings. Learn how to adapt communication, structure environments, and reduce overwhelm.

Understanding and Managing Anxiety (CPD)

Anxiety is one of the most common challenges faced today. This session explores how anxiety presents, what triggers it, and, most importantly, how to respond in ways that calm, support, and empower.

Overcoming Loneliness and Depression (CPD)

Loneliness and depression can often go unnoticed. This training helps professionals identify subtle signs, engage in supportive conversations, and create environments that enhance connection and wellbeing.

Engaging and Empowering DSA Students

Designed specifically for those working with Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) recipients, this session focuses on building trust, increasing engagement, and helping students thrive academically and personally.

Positive Relationships and Endings (CPD)

Support work often involves endings, of sessions, relationships, or services. This training explores how to build healthy professional relationships and manage endings in a way that feels safe, and allows those receiving support to feel confident in their next steps.

Workplace Accommodations (CPD)

Inclusive workplaces don’t happen by accident. Learn how to implement reasonable adjustments that are practical, effective, and genuinely supportive, without overcomplicating the process.

Disability Awareness (CPD Accredited)

A foundational yet powerful session that challenges assumptions, builds empathy, and provides a clear understanding of disability in modern contexts, helping teams create truly inclusive environments.
