Community Support Groups
About this resource
Do you want to connect with other people who are also on the autism journey? Do you want to chat with someone who just “gets it?” Are you looking to learn from experts in the field? Our community groups welcome you!
Empowerment, expertise, and listening are three of the values we, at AutismBC, hold near and dear—our community support groups are one of the ways that we personify those values. Our passionate team hosts safe, open-minded groups for people on the autism spectrum and their families across BC and online. Our support groups encourage conversations and discussions, the opportunity to share victories and insights, and resources to overcome different challenges.
Sharing lived experiences is a powerful resource in strengthening our communities: we want to hear your stories. Please join our space so we can encourage each other as we navigate the autism journey together.
Currently, AutismBC supports and promotes community support groups in all regions of BC including the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Northern BC, and the Interior. We welcome your questions and feedback.
