Your little one has an autism diagnosis. Now what? For many parents and family caregivers, what comes next is a whirlwind of meetings, paperwork, research, decisions, and worry about what the future brings. We may feel fear, anger and grief. Does this make us bad parents? No – it makes us human.

This a group for parents and caregivers of children up to age 8 who are recently diagnosed with autism. The group is facilitated by YSSN’s Family Peer Mentors and OAP-Funded Family Support Worker teams, who have felt all the feelings and are ready to listen and share. This judgement-free space is a chance to ask questions and connect with other families with young ones.
