Mission
The mission of the Neurodiversity Celebration Collaborative is to address negative attitudes, misconceptions, and stigmas surrounding neural and mental health differences by viewing mental health as a continuum rather than a binary in which mental health is either achieved or not achieved.
Through strategic research and advocacy, we will evaluate current mental health resources on and off campus, create appreciation versus sympathy for neural differences, bring to light inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the literature, establish appropriate forums of disclosure for students, and ultimately help constitute a more connected and understanding campus climate that celebrates neurodiversity as an integral part of any functioning university and its surrounding community.
