Supporting well-being and resilience for people with autism:

Professional Development In Focus Workshop

This In Focus live webinar is designed for any professionals who have a sound understanding of autism and seek specific knowledge to better understand and support the wellbeing and resilience of people on the spectrum in a range of settings.

Mental health issues can be significant for some people on the spectrum, and well-being and resilience play a vital role in reducing and minimising mental health issues.

In this session, the dynamic presenter will cover:

• Well-being and resilience, specifically in relation to the characteristics of autism and the impact this can have on an individual; and

• Effective supports and strategies to improve well-being and resilience across the lifespan.

Throughout the workshop the presenter will use discussion, activities, and videos to deliver information on these topics that will enhance the attendee’s knowledge enabling them to provide effective support, inclusion and outcomes to the individuals they support.

Suitable for professionals supporting individuals of all ages
