SUMMARY:Living the Good Life: A peer-led space for newly identified Autistic adults
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to those that participated in the pilot of Living the Good Life\, a peer-facilitated drop-in for newly diagnosed or self-diagnosed\, and late-identified Autistic and neurodivergent adults. We appreciated the opportunity to learn alongside you and to explore what this offering could look like. \n\n\n\nSinneave often pilots new ideas as part of our work as a hub for innovation and discovery. This means we sometimes test approaches and then adjust or pivot as we learn more about where we can have the greatest impact in alignment with our strategy. \n\n\n\nAs part of our ongoing work to learn and adapt our programs and services\, we will not be continuing Living the Good Life at this time. \n\n\n\nFor those who participated in the pilot and are interested in staying connected\, we encourage you to make use of Your Time Your Way as a “third space” — a place outside of work\, home\, or school where you can spend time\, connect with others\, or simply be in the space in a way that works for you. While there will no longer be formal planning and facilitation for Living the Good Life\, the space remains available for people to connect on their own and spend time together if they wish. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, there are several other community spaces where you may find connections and support. We have included a list of those in an attachment. \n\n\n\nThank you again for being part of this pilot and for the openness and contributions you made to the group. \n\n\n\nSinneave will continue to offer a wide variety of activities and opportunities through our events calendar\, programs\, and services for people to connect\, engage\, and take steps toward their goals and desired futures. \n\n\n\nWant to chat? Feel free to book an Information & Navigation meeting.
