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.
