Family Support Groups
Our Family Support Groups offer a safe, welcoming and supportive space for families of autistic children and young people, including those who are awaiting assessment or do not yet have a diagnosis. Meet other families, take part in activities, ask questions and spend time in an environment where different needs are understood.
What to expect
Sessions are relaxed, flexible and family-friendly. You can join in with creative activities, sensory play and group activities, or simply use the space in a way that works for your family.
Who is it for?
- Autistic children and young people
- Children and young people awaiting assessment
- Parents, carers, siblings and wider family members
- Families who would benefit from an understanding space
