Shoutout to Serendipity Labs for letting CT use their amazing co-working space for a staff training! Last week, our clinical team received training on the Low Arousal Approach (a de-escalation-focused, person-centered, and evidence-based approach to managing distressed behaviors) from our very own Monty and Michaela - the first LAA trained facilitators in the US!

🥶📖 Happy snowy Wednesday 📚🥶
This week's book is The Insider Guide to PDA. It offers an in-depth exploration of PDA (Persistent Drive for Autonomy) which is a profile os some neurodivergent experiences. The book covers topics like what PDA can be like at each different life stage, strategies for self-regulation and support of loved ones and each chapter closes with commentary from the authors - Sally Cat and Brook Madera are both PDAers who are also parents of PDA kiddos. Check this book out for helpful insight and knowledge!
P.S. This book and a feature on PDA were in March's edition of our monthly newsletter - subscribe for more info about topics related to neurodivergence, book recs and info about upcoming events! http://www.commonthreadsmadison.org/join 😸

🎺 Come one, come all to learn about our incoming Clinical Psychologist - Dr. Holly Morales! 🎺
Dr. Morales practices from a neurodiversity-affirming and social justice–informed perspective. She believes that people are the experts on their own experiences and that accurate diagnosis can be an important step toward self-understanding, support, and access to care. Her approach emphasizes listening closely to clients, reducing barriers to diagnosis, and moving away from deficit-based models toward strengths-based understanding.
We're looking forward to learning from her and increasing the ways in which we can support clients and students. Yay! 😸🌼🧠

In lieu of a book review this week...When unjust things are happening around us it can be overwhelming and leave people not knowing where to start. There is an important bill being voted on this week that includes increasing funding to DHS and we have a chance to stand up for our community to protect families and neighbors by demanding that it is not approved. The app/website 5calls makes calling representative accessible with sorted topics, appropriate phone numbers and scripts. Hug a friend, cuddle a pet, drink your favorite beverage in the sunlight from a window. In solidarity, 💖💖💖

Taking a moment to share the exciting news that Common Threads was voted one of of Madison’s Best Places To Work by Madison Magazine!

We are able to show up for clients and students because of the ways that we work together and are bonded by our aligned values and passions. Thank you to our staff, our leadership team and most of all our community 💖💖💖
