Peer-Support Group Regular Meet-up
Peer-Led Support Group for Parents, Carers, Support People & Allies
Supporting an autistic person can be meaningful, joyful, complex and sometimes exhausting — especially when it feels like you are carrying it all alone.
Autism Connections Wingecarribee is a welcoming peer-led group for adults who are parenting, caring for, providing for, supporting or loving an autistic person.
Led by Jacquie and Liz, this is a space to connect with people who understand, share experiences, swap resources and feel a little less alone.

We Get It
Supporting someone can feel meaningful, joyful, complex and sometimes exhausting.
You might be navigating school, uni, TAFE, work, friendships, services, health appointments, the NDIS, family life or everyday advocacy.
Sometimes what helps most is being in a room with people who understand.
