Online group mentoring sessions with the ICAN Network
Expressions of interest for online group mentoring are now open with the ICAN Network.
The ICAN Network is an organisation that empowers people on the Autism Spectrum with an ‘I CAN’ attitude.
Their online mentoring groups offer a safe place for Autistic young people to come together with peers and mentors to share interests and explore common experiences, such as building and navigating friendships, dealing with change and getting organised/managing classes.
For the remainder of 2019, they are offering online mentoring groups at the time slots below for the following cohorts (please note that there will be more than one group for some cohorts):

Each group runs for 6 sessions, and they run new cycles approximately every 8-10 weeks throughout the year. Cost is $252 AUD and can be covered by NDIS funding.
