Neurodiversity Rules! IAC 12th Annual Conference

On the heels of a global pandemic, economic downturn and ongoing social justice issues, workplace stress is at an all-time high. More holistic, human-centered and intersectional approaches are required to equip organizational leaders in the fields of intellectual and developmental disabilities to create environments where everyone can thrive. To shift from crisis mode to catalyst, organizational leaders must develop skills to advance workforce well-being and build a culture of wellness.

Applying a W.I.D.E. lens that advances wellness, inclusion, diversity and equity is mission critical to cultivate both individual and organizational flourishing.

Following this session, participants will be able to: ● Apply a holistic framework to Wellness and DEI to prioritize growth opportunities that advance workforce well-being ● Define the Nine Essentials of Total Health to understand the intersections between well-being and workforce development ● Explore industry trends and case studies highlighting promising practices in creating a culture of wellness to empower leadership in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities ● Identify your personal risk factors for burnout and develop strategies to mitigate workplace stress
