A grant received by a counselling therapist at Brandon University will let her offer a new program for neurodiverse students at BU.
Marsha Harris applied for and received a grant from the Suicide Prevention Implementation Network (SPIN) to cover the costs of offering a Mindful Self-Compassion group.
She says that Mindful Self-Compassion programs can support neurodiverse students in fostering self-acceptance, promoting resilience, promoting new coping skills to manage emotional responses, and reducing internalized stigma.
