Western Area Autism Support Cafes

Posted on by

We are inviting adults, parents and carers of children and young people, who have:

  • ·         an autism diagnosis
  • ·         are awaiting an assessment
  • ·         are displaying early indicators ( suggesting their child may be Neurodiverse),

to attend our Autism Support Cafés with local support groups, information stalls and short workshops.

Download the 2024/25 Autism Cafe Booklet

These events are in partnership with statutory services and community and voluntary organisations who can support families on their autism journey.

Our aim is to bring together adults, parents, carers and organisations, to provide support and information on services available. We are hoping that those who attend will help us shape our plans for future events across the WHSCT, provide feedback, ideas and suggestions. This input will be extremely valuable in the co-design of our future Café’s.

  •  Tea & Coffee provided
  • Booking is not required. 

Any further questions or if your organisation would like to host a stall please email ClaireA.Hamilton@westerntrust.hscni.net
