Great Minds Together are delighted to announce that we are the Regional Hub for the North West region for Autism Central. This is a new programme, co-designed to provide high-quality and accessible autism information, education and coaching for families, and carers, and co-delivered by autistic people, families and carers. Autism Central has been commissioned by NHS England’s Workforce, Training and Education Team and is delivered nationally by nine not-for-profit organisations.
Parents and carers can book a 1:1 appointment with a Wraparound Coordinator here in the North west.
We are here to listen, offer guidance and help you find services that are available in your local area, and this can be done via the phone, in person, virtually and even by text and email. We are flexible and can work around your needs.
We also offer group sessions every month for parents, carers, and personal assistants. All our sessions are run by Peer Educators and cover a wide range of topics. All our Peer Educators are parents or carers of autistic people or may be autistic themselves and they are happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.

Great Minds Together are able to offer family members, carers and personal assistants of autistic children and adults a variety of group and individual sessions. These will focus on meeting the needs of autistic people and on signposting to local and national services.
Sessions will be offered in person and online. These sessions will be facilitated by Peer Educators who are experts by experience and have a good understanding of autism.
This new programme is available to:
· Family members of autistic adults and children
· Partners/spouses and informal carers of autistic people
· Personal assistants of autistic people
Great Minds Together is committed to supporting inclusion and diversity. We actively encourage engagement from people who may have difficulty in accessing centres in person, have reduced access to online facilities, and may have additional barriers which can arise from being from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups.
