A support Programme for parents and carers of young people from the age of 11 to 18 with autism or suspected autism.
The core TeenLife programme is delivered over six 2.5 to 3 hour sessions which include:
• Understanding Autism
• Understanding autistic identity
• Stress and anxiety; understanding behaviour
• Health and Wellbeing
• Puberty
• Education; transition to adulthood
Parents of autistic young people face the usual positives and challenges of parenting and quite a few more. Attending a TeenLife autism support programme gives parents and carers an opportunity to develop their understanding of autism and consider ways to support their young person. It also provides the opportunity to meet other people in a similar postition and hear about their experiences in an informal but supportive atmosphere.
Who can attend TeenLife sessions?
Parents, carers or other family members who have responsibility for your young person. Your young person needs to be between the ages of 11 and 18 and live in Surrey. They may have a diagnosis of autism or be waiting for one. Please book a place for each person attending.
Fees
We are charging £35 per family to attend the 6 week programme, which includes the cost of the course workbooks. If you are not in a financial position to pay for this please get in touch to discuss further.
Who will deliver my TeenLife course?
Surrey's TeenLife course offer is coordinated through the Autism Outreach team based at Freemantles School, but the team of trainers is made up from professionals working across Surrey in education, health and charity organisations.
