Objectives

Value Proposition:

We want to improve the mental health of autistic young people.

Position Statement:

Empowering the vulnerable by being caringly curious

Igniting power, brightening futures

 

Vision:

See a world where young people no longer self-harm for their emotion dysregulation issues.

Mission:

Listening to understand distress and listening to respond to stigma, enabling CYP to feel valued and empowered, facilitating communities to be resilient and skilful.

Our Values are:

CRÈME

Curiosity- We are always internally inquisitive about our approach and curious about how we can grow and improve to better support our CYP

Real- We will be 100% real, raw and honest. We are all a work in progress but we owe it to our CYP to manage expectations...No BS allowed!

Empathy- We all acknowledge and respond to the pain that emotion dysreg causes to ASD CYP and their families, we always act with compassion

Meaning- We move away from "helper-helpee" relationships and move towards hope-based collaboration and learning together

Empowerment- The best until last! Each young person using the service will feel they know their worth, can define their future and own their power.

Activities

EDA is a newly registered charity, aiming to provide a psychologically-informed peer support service for autistic young people suffering with emotion dysregulation ( difficulty in communicating emotions, leading to self-harm and mental distress)

We also deliver youth-led social action workshops to the community to educate about emotion regulation skills to places of worship, police stations and childrens residential homes.
