As many organizations are cancelling much needed services and support without offering alternatives, we have decided to expand our free resources. Instead of just offering monthly chat groups, we are going to be offering free chats groups Monday through Friday. These new chats begin March 16th and will go through April.
On Mondays we are offering a chat group for autistic adults. On Tuesdays we will be offering a chat group for those over 50. On Wednesdays we will be offering a chat group for women, trans-women and non-binary folks. On Thursdays we will be offering a chat for LGBTQIA+ Community. And on Fridays we will be offering a chat for parents or family members of autistics.
Monday-Thursday chats: 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm, Eastern time
Friday chats: 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm, Eastern time
If you are currently a GRASP online chat member, please look for emails with details about the new chat information. If you are not currently a member and interested in participating in the new daily chats, please reach out to us via our contact page or [email protected]. For more information about the chats and how it works, check out, https://grasp.org/resources/.
Additionally, if you find yourself needing one-on-one support, we offer virtual coaching. For more information about coaching check out, https://grasp.org/coaching/.
Finally, if you are experiencing overwhelming emotions and need more intensive help, reach out to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) by calling their helpline at 1-800-950-6264 or by texting NAMI to 741741. Learn more at, https://www.nami.org/Find-Support/NAMI- ... -Resources
