🎉The Essex Carers Network this year celebrated 21 years of supporting families who are caring for a family member with a learning
disability, which could include autism and other disabilities too. Everyone on
the team is a family carer themselves.
The most important things that we aim to do are:
💜 Making sure our families have the tools,
resources and information they need to feel strong, resilient and
empowered in order for them to advocate for their family.
💜 Working to ensure the lived experiences
and voices of our families informs and influences the future landscape and
opportunities for people with a learning disability, which may include
autism and other disabilities too and their families in Essex.
