AIM NORTH TYNESIDE...opening for referrals Monday November 24th!!
AIM North Tyneside
AIM North Tyneside is a post-diagnostic service* for autistic adults (who do not have a learning disability) and live in North Tyneside.
The service supports autistic adults to understand and integrate their diagnosis, build self-awareness, and manage everyday life with confidence and control.
We welcome self referrals, however, if you are a professional working with someone who could benefit from our services, could we ask that you complete a professional referral form as opposed to encouraging your client self-refer.
*Please see the Referral pages in the navigation bar for referral criteria.
*This service is for autistic adults who do not have a learning disability.

Our Connect Support Prevent service consists of:
Me, Myself & Autism

Our psychoeducational course 'Me, Myself & Autism' is a self-awareness course designed specifically for autistic individuals.
Over eight weekly sessions, we celebrate the unique characteristics of autism and address everyday challenges that you may encounter (the MMA course can only accessed by people who have an autism diagnosis).
The MMA course runs for eight weeks.
At the end of the course we hold an online 'Me, Myself & Autism for Families' session where relatives/friends have an overview of the course content.

Practical support with things that you might find difficult. This could include help with communication, building self-advocacy skills (speaking up for what you need), learning new things, or gaining confidence.
Emotional support from people who listen, understand, and take your experiences seriously.
Our support is designed to help you live the life you want, feel more independent, and avoid needing more stressful or intensive types of support in the future.

Wellbeing Sessions
Coming Soon....
Our wellbeing sessions are for autistic adults who may be socially isolated or unable to access peer support in the community. The sessions provide a safe and welcoming space to meet and engage with other autistic people.
Sessions are group-based and focus on supporting emotional wellbeing through general discussion, fun activities, games, quizzes, and opportunities to connect with and get to know others.
