Autism. ADHD. More Than a Label.

Join NAMI Mississippi for an engaging and compassionate webinar presented by Gabrie'le Eato, B.S., A.A., PCM, QMHS, a neurodiversity advocate, psychometrist, public speaker, and founder of Eleable®.

This webinar explores autism and ADHD through the lens of mental health, lived experience, professional insight, and suicide prevention. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of neurodivergence beyond diagnostic labels, stereotypes, and outward behaviors while learning how experiences such as masking, burnout, bullying, social isolation, and misunderstanding can impact emotional well-being.

Drawing from both her personal experience as an autistic and ADHD individual and her professional expertise, Gabrie'le will discuss the connections between neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and suicide risk. She will also share practical strategies for creating supportive environments where neurodivergent individuals feel understood, respected, and valued.

During this webinar, you'll learn:

• How autism and ADHD extend beyond common myths and misconceptions.

• The impact of masking, burnout, bullying, and isolation on mental health.

• Why neurodivergent individuals may experience increased emotional distress.

• Ways families, educators, employers, healthcare providers, and community members can offer meaningful support.

• Practical approaches to fostering acceptance, inclusion, and psychological safety.

Who should attend?
This webinar is ideal for autistic and ADHD individuals, family members, caregivers, educators, mental health professionals, healthcare providers, advocates, service providers, employers, and anyone interested in building more inclusive and supportive communities.

Whether you are seeking to better understand your own experiences or support someone you care about, this presentation will provide valuable insights and practical tools to promote compassion, reduce stigma, and strengthen mental wellness for neurodivergent individuals.
