📢 HELP SHAPE THE SOUTH TEES AUTISM STRATEGY 📢
We have been asked by Harley Street Mental Health to share a fantastic opportunity to help shape a new five-year plan for Middlesbrough Council and Redcar & Cleveland Council.
The South Tees Autism Strategy aims to improve local support, services, and everyday life for autistic people across both boroughs—and they need your voice to decide the priorities!

👥 Who can get involved?

They want to hear from anyone aged 16 and over living in Middlesbrough or Redcar & Cleveland. A formal diagnosis is NOT needed. You can take part if you are:
• Autistic, think you might be, or are waiting for an assessment.
• A parent, family member, carer, or advocate.
• Anyone who supports local autistic people.

💬 How does it work?

• Flexible formats: You can chat in person (individually or in small groups), via video call, over the phone, or send written feedback.
• Bring support: You are welcome to bring someone you trust along with you.
• Get paid for your time: Autistic participants, families, and carers can be paid for taking part, and travel arrangements can be covered (explained in advance).
They are especially keen to reach people who don't normally get involved in things like this or who aren't currently in touch with local services. Taking part is completely voluntary.

📞 How to get in touch:

If you or someone you support would like to take part, contact Harley Street Mental Health directly:
