CareSafer™ Primary Care Neuroinclusion Project

CareSafer™ is a lived-experience-led, evidence-informed training and implementation initiative designed to strengthen the capacity of healthcare providers and systems to deliver safer, neuroaffirmative care for neurodivergent adults. The program focuses on primary care and interdisciplinary clinical settings, addressing well-documented inequities related to misdiagnosis, diagnostic overshadowing, access barriers, communication breakdowns, and preventable harm.

The CareSafer curriculum is organized into seven modular units and integrates neurodiversity-affirming practice, trauma-informed care, legal and human-rights alignment, and system-level responsibility for safety and inclusion. It is designed for virtual or blended delivery and can be adapted to local clinical and organizational contexts while maintaining fidelity to core principles.

CareSafer is currently being piloted through an implementation project supported by Healthcare Excellence Canada, in collaboration with a primary care clinic and external academic and community partners. The initiative is led by the Neurodiversity Change Foundation (NCF), a BC-based nonprofit advancing equity and justice for neurodivergent adults, and is positioned for future research, evaluation, and scale-up through health system and academic partnerships.
