A closed support group has the same group members (up to 12) for a set number of sessions (8). Closed support groups are ideal for adults who are looking for deeper connections and more extensive peer support from group members. For the best support group experience, closed group members should plan on attending all 8 meetings in the series. This group offers a safe environment where Autistic adults can talk with like-minded people, share issues and concerns, and celebrate successes. Common topics include: disclosure, self-advocacy, and relationships.
Children will have an opportunity to visit with Santa, make some holiday crafts, play in the sensory room, and more! Volunteers are needed to help with activity stations and ensure that each child can participate and has fun!
Wear your tackiest, most festive holiday attire and get ready to party! Please bring a gift of $10 or less for our gift exchange.
