Wales peer support groups

Welcome to our peer-to-peer support project in Wales. This project is funded by the Welsh government and aims to support autistic adults to form and run their own social groups.

We know autistic individuals will often experience feelings of loneliness and isolation. By setting up or just attending a peer social group, you will be in a safe environment where you can be yourself and meet others with similar interest and life experience.

All supporting PDF resources are provided in English and Welsh. In addition, our website has an extensive range of accessibility support features, which are described in detail below.

If you have any questions about our toolkit or would like advice and guidance on peer support, you can contact us at peersupportwales@nas.org.uk.

Leading or attending a peer social group for autistic adults will send you on an exciting journey of self-discovery, but what does a successful peer group look like? Meet our very first autistic adult peer social group from Conwy:
