Supporting YOU to support your young person with their Mental Health & Wellbeing.

• Do you care for an Autistic young person? (with/without diagnosis)
• Would you benefit from speaking to other parents/carers with shared lived experiences?

Our peer support groups are an opportunity to connect with other parents/carers, share experiences, exchange practical advice, mutual support and signposting.

Groups are parent-led and professionally supported, held in relaxed & confidential spaces.

12:30pm-2pm

Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the Month

KEY Unlocking Futures, Unit 2, Balfour Court, Leyland, Central Lancashire PR25 2TF

Attending a peer support group gives you the opportunity to be around others who can offer understanding, emotional support and guidance. We hope that by attending peer support you will feel more connected to others and resilient to cope with life.

Members of the group are invited to share what they choose to about themselves/their experience, and will be given the opportunity to receive guidance and support from the rest of the group. You may not feel ready to open-up or this might take you some time, there is no-pressure, by just being around others we can feel less alone in what we are going through.
