Community Resources

In response to the coronavirus outbreak, we are creating a number of support services for the Autism Community. This is to protect and support the good mental health of us all. These turbulent and unpredictable days have made our lives, as autistic people and families of autistics, even more difficult.  To this end, we are going to be coming forward with a range of support measures, the first of which is this list of useful resources.

London Autism Group Charity 
To support the Autism community's mental health during this coronavirus epidemic, the London Autism Group Charity have arranged for Lola Alvarez-Romano, a mental health expert and consultant NHS psychotherapist (with a specialism in working with autistic people and families. ) to join charity lead Dr Chris Papadopoulos and Trustee James Gordon for a public livestream this Friday (27th March) at 8.30pm - 9.30pm on the public London Autism Group Charity Facebook page.
Please feel free to join us live on the stream to ask her your questions and to benefit from the experience.
