Parent/Carer Education & Support Group

Learn, share and grow with other Parents and Carers

We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new 8-week program which provides parents and carers of newly diagnosed autistic individuals with the opportunity to learn, share and grow together.

This group provides members with access to educational workshops and a safe space where parents and carers can share their story and build relationships with others experiencing similar circumstances.

Across 8 weeks, we’ll be covering a number of essential topics which include:

  • ASD 101
  • Communication
  • Sensory/regulation
  • Play
  • Behaviour
  • Supportive relationships
  • Family/individual strengths
  • The autism service infrastructure
