Autism World CIC Programme for Young Asian Girls

 

Autism World CIC aims to provide young South Asian girls with the tools to navigate the significant challenges affecting their well-being and personal growth today. We believe that this programme serves as the crucial component that has been missing in the current education curriculum.

 

Our innovative approach to learning empowers young South Asian girls to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to achieve their maximum potential. Central to the programme is the enhancement of their comprehension of cultural heritage and the potential generational trauma that may persist within their families, having migrated for three generations.

 

The programme, delivered across 12 weeks and covering a range of topics, employs a diverse range of methods, including:

 

  • Storytelling
  • Role play
  • Art therapy
  • One-to-one peer support
  • Group discussions
  • Activities
  • Videos
  • Worksheets

 

Through these approaches, participants will be empowered to collaboratively address specific challenges they encounter. Additionally, the programme will cover essential life skills such as:

 

  • Building self-esteem and confidence
  • Developing effective communication skills
  • Understanding mental health and wellness
  • Navigating cultural identity and integration
  • Setting and achieving personal goals

 

By the end of the programme, young South Asian girls will be better equipped to handle the complexities of their personal and social lives, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience.
