Crisis Alternatives Support for Autistic Adults Living in Kent and Medway
A project for people who have a diagnosis of, or are awaiting evaluation for, Autism or Asperger’s and who are experiencing significant mental health difficulties.
Our team of professional staff, peer supporters, and volunteers aim to provide a detailed, individual, and specific self-advocacy service, which supports you to make changes to improve your general mental health and wellbeing.
We operate across Kent and Medway, both in-person and remotely.
We are open year round and can offer an out-of-hours service, including weekends and bank holidays.
Our aim is to enable individuals to access support and information in their local area in order to improve their mental health and to avoid being at risk of crisis.
We are not a clinical service but if we can’t help, we will do our best to make sure we give you the details of appropriate forms of support in your area.
What we offer:
- 6 weeks of 1-1 Self Advocacy
- Peer Support Groups
- Fortnightly Autism and Wellbeing Drop-In.
- Phone, Text, and Online (Zoom) Support
- Limited Capacity for Face-to-Face Support in the Community
