Teaching mental health counselors and drug and alcohol counselors about the differences between acquired, genetic, and environmental neurodivergent brains offers several significant benefits. Understanding these distinctions enables counselors to tailor therapy to better accommodate the unique needs of clients with conditions like autism and ADHD. By recognizing and addressing the diverse factors contributing to neurodivergence, counselors can provide more effective support and interventions. Additionally, displaying images of differences in brain imaging can highlight various brain functions for therapists, aiding in their understanding and treatment planning. Moreover, equipping clinicians with strategies to combat stigma surrounding neurodivergence ensures that clients receive compassionate and nonjudgmental care. Ultimately, educating counselors on these topics enhances the quality of mental health services available and promotes greater acceptance and support for individuals with neurodiverse conditions. © Nebraska Counseling Association and www.necounseling.org, 2024.
