Joshua Roberts, MA, CPSS, QMHP
Neurodiversity Group Facilitator
Some people get their master’s degrees to get a job; Josh got his to help him understand his own experiences with bipolar 1. He has now become a Wounded Healer who uses his lived mental health experience (including 6 hospitalizations and 2 arrests) to come alongside others navigating their own journeys.
Growing up in South Africa, the Rainbow Nation with 11 official languages, Josh developed a multi-faceted and deeply human way of understanding the diverse states of consciousness we call Neurodiversity. As the creator of Neurodiversity Gifts, Josh’s groups draw on depth psychology, world wisdom traditions, and the Hero’s Journey to help residents see their story differently. Outcome data through a UCSD study showed that Neurodiversity Gifts helps create real shifts in hope, self-worth, and sense of purpose.
Josh co-authored California’s statewide Peer Support Specialist exam, has been featured in Psychology Today and on KPBS, and received the NAMI San Diego Stigma Buster Inspiration Award.
His sessions also incorporate Inspired Canvas, an AI-powered collaborative platform he developed, delivered on tablets to give residents a hands-on creative outlet for self-expression and reflection. His groups unearth treasures while they explore the existential nature of reality…and for our residents, that’s just a typical Thursday.
