Expanding Our Understanding of Neurodevelopmental Differences 

To honor Mental Health Awareness Month, this May MyT brings you three visionary conversations with local Maine experts on how to foster youth well-being.

MyT’s Reimagine Speaker Series invites you to join us in reimagining what is possible for youth, their families, and their futures. Now more than ever, we need voices that move us beyond what has been. This series intends to mobilize us to use our resilience today toward building the tomorrow that we need. While holding the multifaceted challenges and uncertainty that young people and caring adults face, this series is meant to help flip the script and embolden us to imagine the future we are longing for so that we can bring it into being.

 Reimagine Brain Power

Expanding Our Understanding of Neurodevelopmental Differences 

More awareness has been building around neurodevelopmental differences, but how do we respond in ways that truly support youth and their families? Join public health policy analyst, Michelle Fong in reimagining how we reapproach the conversations on neurodivergence, expand our understanding beyond boxes, and build our collective brain power. When youth with NDD’s and their families are seen, heard, valued, and supported, everyone’s mental health improves.

Michelle Fong is a Public Health Policy Analyst from Maine, mom of two grown children, and co-founder of Navimental which simplifies youth mental health care for families. Her interest and experience in health policy grew from her experiences as a parent. Michelle will help us think about what it means to increase positive childhood experiences for all youth in ways that make our communities stronger.
