First National Autism Peer Education Model
Dr Ashok Roy OBE -Clinical Advisor HEE, Learning Disabilities and Autism and Consultant Psychiatrist
"Health Education England commissioned Great Minds Together to design & deliver a peer education project to support the needs of families, personal assistants and small independent care providers throughout the Covid pandemic, and to provide learning and resources to upskill and reduce the potential for unnecessary admissions for autistic people into hospital.
The project is the first ever Peer Education Programme that treats the family as the workforce and uses an innovative and responsive model to rapidly provide bespoke education to focus on optimal mental health support.
It is vital that the importance of families is acknowledged when recognising the essential role that they play in providing care and support.
The flexibility of the Great Minds Together model of delivery, results in families being educated, guided, and supported to ensure they are armed with essential knowledge and skills to keep their loved ones safe, as well as education to develop strategies that reduce risk of crisis.
Families feel empowered & supported, leading to a reduction in the use of health & care services that are already under pressure throughout the system. The model offers tremendous potential to positively impact on the quality of life, not only of the autistic person but also on their families and carers, and crucially is available flexibly and on demand.
