Ambitious about Autism
Ambitious about Autism is delighted to share the Autistic and OK programme.
The Autistic and OK programme is a free wellbeing programme for autistic pupils at secondary school, empowering them to take control of their mental health before reaching crisis point. It was developed by Ambitious about Autism in collaboration with autistic young people as well as experts in mental health and wellbeing.
The programme has now reached over 850 UK secondary schools and has been downloaded over 3,500 times since our national launch last year. We are looking to increase uptake in schools in the north of England in places like Bury to ensure that autistic young people across the UK have access to tailored wellbeing support at school.
To find out more, visit the Autistic and OK website to download the toolkit for free. We’re also running 2 online information sessions for schools, academy trusts and local authority teams this term, taking place on:
- Thursday 23 January 2025
- Tuesday 11 March 2025
Secure your free ticket to either session, where our team will provide an overview of the programme and you’ll hear from one of our autistic Youth Advisors and a member of school staff who has run the programme in their setting.
