25.01.2022 Over the upcoming weeks we will be introducing you to our team. Meet Ashleigh! Ash is a Provisional Psychologist, Behaviour Support Practitioner, and Groups Coordinator. She supports people who are having trouble with their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. You might also see her if you are starting a group for the first time or have questions about our groups. "I have always wanted to help people feel empowered and supported during times when they are struggling." "I...’m so proud of seeing the progress the kids make and the friendships they create especially in groups." "What you might not know about me is I really enjoy crocheting and have been teaching myself how." #lukepriddisfoundation #autismawareness #centreforautism See more

21.01.2022 It’s RU Ok Day today and we want to focus on what to say after you ask the question. 'THERE'S MORE TO SAY AFTER R U OK?' Yes. 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. Visit www.ruok.org.au for guides to know what to say when someone says they’re not OK and guides on how you can continue a conversation that could change a life. At LPF we are always here for a conversation. If you or someone you know needs support please also contact www.lifeline.org.au or call 13 11 14 #ruok #lukepriddisfoundation #autismfamily
