Our ASD-Informed Counselling Services are proudly supported by the Windsor Foundation!

With the generous support of The Windsor Foundation, Autism Connections is proud to offer our ASD-Informed Counselling Services — specialized mental health support for autistic individuals, their families/caregivers, and caregiving professionals.


We are especially grateful to have received The Windsor Foundation’s support for this program for a second year. Their continued investment means so much to our organization and to the individuals and families who access these services.


This funding helps us make counselling and workshops more accessible and affordable to clients across the Maritimes, whether they connect with us in person or virtually.

By investing in services that support vulnerable and neurodivergent communities, The Windsor Foundation is helping to strengthen mental health care and promote meaningful inclusion throughout our region.


We are deeply thankful to The Windsor Foundation for their continued generosity, their commitment to improving lives across the Maritime Provinces, and for helping make this important work possible.
