Balance: Book Launch Event
Event Details Coming Soon…
Join author, researcher, and founder of ND Perspective, Jessica Dark, for the official launch of her new book, Balance: How Neurodivergent Adults Can Nurture Well-Being Across Work, Life and Self-Care.
Drawing on both lived experience and years of research into neurodiversity, organisational psychology, and inclusive practice, Balance explores what well-being can look like when we move beyond trying to fit into systems that were never designed with neurodivergent people in mind. Rather than promoting one-size-fits-all solutions, the book encourages readers to develop a personalised understanding of their own needs, strengths, and ways of navigating everyday life.
Across its chapters, Balance considers the many areas that influence well-being, including work, home life, relationships, sensory environments, energy, routines, self-care, emotional well-being, identity, and thriving in a world that often places competing demands on neurodivergent people. Throughout the book, readers will find practical strategies, reflective activities, and evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to suit different neurodivergent experiences.
During this special launch event, Jessica will:
Share the personal and professional journey that inspired her to write Balance.
Introduce the key themes explored throughout the book.
Provide an overview of the practical strategies, tools, and supports featured across the chapters.
Discuss how neurodivergent adults can develop sustainable approaches to well-being that work for them, rather than striving to meet unrealistic expectations.
Answer audience questions during a live Q&A.
Whether you are neurodivergent yourself, support a neurodivergent person, or work within education, healthcare, or workplace settings, this event offers an opportunity to explore a more compassionate, personalised approach to well-being and to celebrate the launch of a book designed to support neurodivergent adults in living balanced, fulfilling lives.
