Mindroom is a charity that champions all forms of neurodiversity and supports all kinds of minds. Our mission is to be a leading centre for change, in how we live, work, and learn. We achieve this through support, education, advocacy, and research. Our primary objective is to foster a deeper and more inclusive understanding of the diverse minds that make up our community. We are dedicated to raising awareness, fostering acceptance, and actively contributing to the creation of a society where neurodiversity is not merely acknowledged but genuinely valued. Mindroom is complemented by a unique partnership with the Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre (SMRC) within the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences at The University of Edinburgh. To achieve our mission we deliver a range of project and services: Parents and carers Being a parent or carer of a neurodivergent child is of course a positive experience, but at times it can feel worrying, uncertain and isolating. Our team of Family Advice and Outreach Specialists will listen to the difficulties you are experiencing and support you to work through these challenges. We aim to support, inform and empower you. Children and young people If you are under the age of 25 and think you may be neurodivergent, or if you need help being heard in decisions that affect your life – we can support you. We provide direct one-to-one advocacy and support for neurodivergent children and young people across Scotland. You do not need a diagnosis to access our services. Professionals We work closely with professionals in schools, health, social work and other organisations to build knowledge and share good practice. We are also here to help you feel better informed by providing robust and reliable information, advice and support. Employers We work in partnership with employers to create neuroinclusive workplaces where employees who are neurodivergent can thrive.
