Cathartic Collaborations provides Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapeutic services for Autistic folks, ADHDers and their families in Brisbane and online Australia wide. Tara shares their journey into Social Work, specialising in Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. Both Caitlin and Tara, as Social Workers, discuss their experiences and perspectives in their field, emphasising the importance of critical reflective practice for self-awareness and understanding their own neurodivergence.

They share the unique challenges of supporting these communities, including issues faced by young people transitioning and misinformation surrounding trans issues. Throughout, they highlight the resilience and strength of the Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities.
