About us

The new Community Autism Support Service is commissioned by Coventry City Council, Warwickshire County Council and the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board. It brings together the strengths of Coventry, Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind and Act for Autism, working in partnership with Autism West Midlands, to provide a collaborative approach to supporting autistic people and their families.

CASS aims to help autistic children, young people and adults, along with their families and professionals, to understand autism and themselves better. It supports people to thrive in their everyday, neurodiverse life. We can help to develop communication, social interaction, processing and sensory skills. Our work focuses on building confidence, self-esteem and healthy relationships, providing support in managing your own wellbeing.

We are an education and peer support service, and the largest proportion of our work is done in groups. Our results and empirical research show that being with others who share similar experiences can help us achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. We are not a mental health service, and we expect our service users to be able to attend our buildings located across Coventry and Warwickshire.
