The mental health peer support group for autistic adults is a new peer support group we’ve set up after hearing from people it’s something they need in the community.
The group is a safe and welcoming space for autistic adults with shared experiences of mental health to connect, support one another, and explore ways to improve well-being.
This is a drop-in style group where you are welcome to either come along to each session or as and when works for you.
No pressure, no judgment, just support from others who understand. You are welcome to join us however feels right for you.
