Services we Provide


Coffee Mornings


Coffee Mornings are held in the Haven on a Wednesday from 10.30am till 12.30pm and a Friday from 10.30am till 12.00pm term time only.


Everybody is welcome, with or without a diagnosis of ADHD, ASD or Asperger Syndrome. The coffee morning offers a chance to meet other parents in a similar situation. There are family support workers available to discuss any support and help needed in a confidential environment. This could be a good place to start if you’re new to ADHD or ASD, want to find out what our centre offers, or if you just want to talk to someone who understands.


Crèche available. Please pre book crèche for Fridays on tel: 020 8901 8009. The crèche is free, however donations are welcome.



Counselling


We can refer families to a free counselling service for families in Harrow living with autism. The objective is to take a focused approach that would deal with issues that arise within families and take a holistic view, through counselling, to prevent family breakdown and stress related ill health. It offers family centred counselling for family members who care for a person with autistic needs as well as counselling for young adults/adults diagnosed with ASD.
