Advocacy, Advice and Information
From recent experiences , we have noted the need to develop a new service here at Dóchas. Some families who are new to the Autism Journey orare finding a diagnosis particularly difficult are contacting us and feeling very overwhelmed. We began discussions with a parent who has been through the journey twice before and is currently studying in Advocacy & Information. We are looking to aid with information and guidance parents may need.
This will include:
• A friendly ear to listen
• Assist people to access and understand appropriate information and services.
• Based on own personal journey / experiences
• Offer advice on processes / techniques
• Information on services and resources available
• Advocacy, Advice only basis
Dóchas will cover the cost of this service, but if any person wishes to donate while attending the service, we would be very grateful. For bookings or further information, please email advice@dochasautism.ie
