Support for friends, family & carers
What support is available for friends, family and carers?
From parent support to activities for children, we offer a wide range of groups designed to help with the daily struggles of living with autism.
To find out more please see Beat Autism website.
We try and help by:
- Giving you time to talk in confidence and at your own pace
- Giving you information about the help that is available
- Helping you ‘through the system’ to arrange the support you need
- Putting you in touch with other carers and support groups
- Keeping in touch with you, if you would like us to do so
- Providing you with regular news-sheets containing information about our services and issues of importance to carers (please contact us to request to be on our mailing list)
- Inviting carers on outings and activities so that they can have an enjoyable break from caring and meet other carers
- Having a worker who offers support specifically to carers who look after someone with a learning disability
