The Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin’s 37th Annual Statewide Conference, presented in partnership with the Autism Society of South Central Wisconsin, is the largest and longest running Autism-related conference in Wisconsin. The statewide conference brings the Autism community together to learn, connect, and belong. It’s a place where Autistic adults, parents and family members, and professionals come to share experiences and learn together. We aim to facilitate a conference experience that empowers each person attending by connecting them to the resources and knowledge they need to live fully.

This training is designed specifically for clinicians to build their knowledge, skills, and confidence in providing therapy to autistic clients within the mental health setting.

This training includes a total of 5 parts, beginning with an introduction to Autistic Mental Health & Well-Being. Each part includes about 6 hours of pre-recorded virtual content, with total instructional hours at about 30 hours. Registrants also have the option of joining monthly, live, one-hour clinicial application sessions with the presenters.

Mental health and wellness is important for all people. To support mental health and wellness for people with an autism diagnosis, it is important to understand their particular style of thinking and the way their brain handles information along with the impact of both environmental and other types of trauma. Additionally, when it comes to mental health and well-being, there are specific stressors unique to autistic individuals. This three part series will take a look at these topics, giving you a foundation of shared knowledge important for all – individual with ASD, parent, teacher, support worker, therapist or anyone interested in this topic.

Caregiving is an important role. We are here to support you with this one-day caregiver retreat at Camp Anokijig in Plymouth, WI. This retreat will bring together caregivers of individuals with Autism from across the state to share stories, swap resources, and build tools for practicing self-compassion. We recognize that caregivers take many forms, so this retreat is open to and welcoming of all those who support individuals on the Autism spectrum, whether you’re a parent, grandparent, sibling, teacher, or friend.

Join us for a day of learning, resource building, and connection at the Green Bay Botanical Garden! We are hosting a one day workshop for those supporting someone new to an Autism diagnosis, whether that be a teacher, a caregiver, a service provider, or friend. Engage with speakers in a series of four sessions during which attendees will learn how to be an advocate, build a foundational understanding of Autism as a type of neurodiversity, hear about resources, and gain tips and tools for supporting Autistic loved ones.
