Family Autism Service
A partnership project with Child Action Northwest and Spring North, offering support for families across East Lancashire including Blackburn with Darwen with a child/children up to the age of 25, seeking or with an autism diagnosis. The project's primary objective is to offer low level support to parents/carers, and families with the focus on two key areas of support: education on autism and strategies to support parents.
Examples of service delivery are:
- Parent support group
- Autism Awareness Sessions
- Cygnet (6 weeks autism course)
- Workshop on relevant topics
- Wellbeing Sessions
- Social Activities for Families
The sessions are offered in different formats for example face to face or online throughout different times of the day.
The service operates through submitting a referral (self or professional) which can be found on the CANW or Spring North website.
