The aims of the session are to:

Identify: What is anxiety, its causes and how it impacts our young people.

Learn: How to support our young people by amending and changing our approach to help them feel safe and relaxed.

Look: At some approaches and techniques to support our autistic young people.

ASD Family Help provides information and support through a wide range of events and activities for families and individuals who are affected by Autism and/or Learning Difficulties/Disabilities (pre and post assessment).

Melissa has an autistic son, who was the reason why she became involved in the world of autism. She worked for a Local Authority for 17 years as an autism specialist supporting and empowering many families.

There will be a Q&A session following the presentation.
