We have been able to show that these arts activities are not only supportive of wellbeing, but they do seem to make real differences to mental health too. The fact that there seems to be rebound between referral cycles suggests that there might be a need to help participants adjust when they exit these programs to ensure sustainability of their impact.

Un sujet important, une conférence à ne pas rater!

"Sensory differences are broadly recognized by autistic self-advocates with fluent speech (those of us who may have traditionally been labelled as Asperger’s or high-functioning), but I see less discussion about movement differences in neurodivergent people."

Dans ce cours, les participants exploreront leurs émotions en utilisant le programme Zones de régulation. Ils apprendront à reconnaître et à définir leurs émotions, à explorer ce qu'ils ressentent et à ce que les autres ressentent. Enfin, les participants exploreront différentes stratégies pour être conscients et pour se calmer dans des situations stressantes. À tous les dimanches, nous pratiquerons l'auto-régulation et les stratégies d'adaptation pour mieux gérer nos stresses et nos anxiétés! Nous explorerons des techniques pour calmer nos corps et nos esprits. Nous apprendrons à mieux comprendre, reconnaître et contrôler nos émotions.

"Ils sont déjà quatre colocataires dans l’appartement supervisé de l’entreprise, et tout se passe vraiment bien. Un couple s’est même formé parmi les protagonistes, et tout le monde voit ça d’un très bon œil, car l’amour, bah ça fait partie de la vie et c’est beau la vie!"

"For people on the autism spectrum like myself, connecting with others is an uphill battle and can be extremely difficult. From my own personal experiences, sometimes it’s like I can’t trust my own mind or body when I’m usually so in control and the next minute I’m just not."

Challenge your assumptions!

"Autistic empathy may work differently to non-autistic empathy. This may be because most autistic people’s sensory processing systems work differently to those of the non-autistic majority. Not just how we hear, see or taste things these differences can be quite obvious and are beginning to be more understood. "

Un projet vraiment intéressant qui vient d'être lancé!
