SAFE Essex is a dedicated parent support group that aims to raise awareness about autism and provide essential support to both autistic individuals and their families in Essex, including the areas of Southend and Thurrock.

Our primary goals include increasing understanding and acceptance of autism within our communities, sharing valuable information to improve the quality of care, and developing services tailored to the needs of autistic individuals and their families.

Throughout our existence we have interacted with numerous individuals who have sought assistance and guidance from us. Many have discovered the immense benefits of connecting with other autistic individuals and their families, as it allows for the exchange of experiences and ultimately fostering personal growth and resilience.
