These sessions are currently available as face to face sessions to be held in person at our Oak House head offices in Bromborough, Wirral or via video chat ( Teams, etc).

These sessions provide opportunities for people with a diagnosis of autism, and their families, to ask a range of questions and discuss anything that might be on their minds.

It will be a time and a place where you can talk openly, in a confidential and safe environment, with two members of our award-winning Autism Training and Advisory Service team.

During these sessions, we can provide support by looking at strategies that can help a person cope, offer a listening ear to reduce anxiety, or give advice in how to approach employers for example.

We are unable to support or advise on financial or legal matters, but we can offer signposting to other organisations that may be able to support in specific areas.

Our courses include:

Parenting a
Child with Autism
Autism Advice Session
