Employment & Wellness Support Group
The Employment & Wellness Support Group is a welcoming online space for Autistic adults to connect, share, and support one another around employment-related experiences. Whether you're navigating workplace challenges, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to connect with others who understand, this group offers a safe and supportive environment to talk, type, listen, and learn.
About the Group
Led by an Autistic facilitator, this conversational support group meets weekly online to explore topics such as:
- Maintaining a healthy work-life balance
- Navigating workplace accommodations
- Disclosing autism in professional settings
- Building confidence and community through shared experience
Participants are welcome to join with their camera and microphone on or off and can engage through voice or chat.
Evolving with Community Insight
We’ve gathered feedback and met with Autistic individuals with lived experience to reflect on how this group can better meet the needs of our community. Based on these conversations, we’re actively working on adaptations to enhance the group’s relevance, accessibility, and impact.
Who can Join
- Autistic adults aged 18+
- Open to individuals across Nova Scotia
- Delivered online for accessibility and convenience
