► Support groups
Across the West Midlands we have contact with 39 support groups and around 10 ‘other contacts’ who volunteer their phone lines for advice and guidance over the phone. All groups welcome new members. They are mostly run by volunteers from their own homes or they hire local community halls for events, so you may have to telephone more than once to get through.
These groups are mainly for parents/carers, however there are also groups for siblings and partners.
All support groups provide some level of emotional support and empower each other to make a difference in their local areas.
Most groups are made up of or include members of Autism West Midlands and attend our bi-yearly Regional Support Group Forum. They are a valuable source of information and support to families who live in their regions.
Some groups are organised by Autism West Midlands, and you can view upcoming meeting times and locations here.
