Phoenix mentor

  • Posted by Marie
  • Date March 11, 2024

This is an invitation only course for becoming a mentor on project Phoenix.

NDSA are an autistic-led non-profit social enterprise working to support the rehabilitation of autistic people with convictions. Lack of effective strategies and habits to cope with neurodivergent conditions are contributing to offending. To promote rehabilitation and prevent reoffending, neurodivergent people need support in developing new coping habits that are inherent and work for their neurodivergent condition. Peer mentors are in best position to help with such strategies. The mentoring programme will support the development of new coping habits and provide social support from the autistic community.

The Autism Peer Mentor will help the rehabilitation of autistic people with convictions through 20 weekly sessions of mentoring (1 hour).

Psychology or Criminology student looking to gain work experience in forensic setting?

Join us as a mentor helping the rehabilitation of autistic people with convictions.
