Workaut – life and work support for people with autism – supports people with autism and their families throughout their entire lives. Workaut aims to give parents and close family members of young people (aged 14 and above) and adults diagnosed with autism the opportunity to regularly exchange ideas, learn from each other, and support one another.

To this end, Workaut offers regular (monthly) meetings from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in St. Gallen. There are no set topics for the meetings, and participants can join at any time. The meeting is facilitated by a specialist in coaching and counseling. Please register in advance at blechschmidt@workaut.ch. Participation is free of charge. 

In addition, a women's meeting for autistic women is offered once a month. The evenings are intended to create space for encounters and exchange. Registration at frauengruppe@workaut.ch.
