New workshops around Autism and Mental Health, which will commence in February 2023. See flyers below.
Understanding Autism and mental health Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can make managing certain areas of our lives more difficult, such as becoming distressed when there are changes to routine or finding certain situations anxiety provoking. These workshops aim to help autistic adults understand their ASD and how it affects their mental health, whilst discussing ways to cope with common mental health challenges in everyday life. 2 sessions, in person
Autism & social anxiety Social interactions are a common source of anxiety for many autistic adults. This workshop will explore social anxiety and look at workable strategies for managing social situations to help autistic adults do the things they want and need to do. 1 session, in person
Self-esteem and autism This workshop will focus on self-esteem for autistic adults. We will look at self-acceptance and self-identity, as well as exploring strategies for how to manage negative experiences or reactions from others, whilst identifying and acknowledging your strengths. 1 session, in person
Supporting you to support Autism These workshops aim to support the family and carers of autistic adults in understanding ASD and support strategies for mental health and wellbeing. We will explore how autism presents and how this can be linked to mental health challenges. We will also explore how you can meet your own mental health and wellbeing needs when supporting others. 2 sessions, in person |
