Supporting well-being and resilience of a person on the spectrum:

In Focus Family Workshop

Mental health issues are often significant for autistic individuals and well-being and resilience play a vital role in reducing and minimising mental health issues. Resilience refers to the ability to recover from a disappointment, and well-being encompasses one’s happiness, health and welfare.

This session looks at:

Well-being and resilience in relation to characteristics of autism;
Impact this can have on a person; and
Supports and strategies to improve well-being and resilience.

Throughout the workshop the presenter will use discussion, activities and videos to deliver information on these topics that will enhance the attendee’s knowledge of supporting well-being and resilience for people that are autistic, and enable them to provide effective support to their child on the spectrum.

Workshop Definitions:

General Workshops are designed to give participants a better understanding of autism. They present a broad range of effective strategies that participants can use to improve their practice when working with individuals on the spectrum. These workshops are suited to participants who have not attended previous Autism SA workshops.

In Focus Workshops are designed for participants who have a good general knowledge and understanding of autism. These sessions are for those wanting to enhance their professional practice by developing skills to support individuals in specific areas relating to autism. It is recommended that participants first attend a General Workshop prior to attending an In Focus Workshop.
