Wellbeing Hub

The Wellbeing Hub is a new initiative, funded by University of Reading Alumni/ launched in November 2023.

The aim of the Hub is to bring together autistic children and young people, their families, practitioners and researchers to co-produce and deliver neurodiversity-affirming activities that support autistic young people and their families to lead their best lives.

2024 Plans

Our initial plans for 2024 include a series of free online talks by autistic adults about thriving, the development of parenting support groups and a practitioner Special Interest Group.

Please note that we do not plan to offer mental health interventions, though we anticipate that our future work will include activities that autistic young people tell us will enhance their wellbeing.

Team

We are a small part time team assisted by a fantastic group of placement students who are studying on the MSc Theory and Practice in Clinical Psychology programme
