Assert supports autistic adults in Brighton and Hove

Assert Short film to celebrate World Autism Awareness week 2020

Some Assert services are still paused and others are running differently. Please see our dedicated current services page by clicking on the black button below. This provides up to date information on current services, while we are still having to operate differently to keep everyone safe. Please contact the relevant member of staff directly for any additional information. We are incredibly happy and excited to be able to start to function more fully again.

Autism is a lifelong condition that affects how a person makes sense of the world, processes information and relates to and communicates with others.

It is a hidden condition which means that you can't tell if someone is autistic from their outward appearance. Autistic people often have above average intelligence and the condition is known as a 'spectrum condition' as it affects people in different ways and to varying degrees.

Many individuals with the condition reach adulthood without a diagnosis or their needs being met as autism does not fit neatly into any category of Statutory Service Provision.

Assert aims to:

Support autisic adults and their parents, partners or carers by providing advice, information, resources, education, social inclusion, volunteering opportunities and support to improve well-being and reduce isolation.

We also seek to raise awareness of the condition, including the many positive aspects.

Assert is a member-led organisation; both individuals and organisations can become members of Assert and support the work that we undertake.

About Emmaus

Emmaus is a special place to visit, in so many ways.

Everyone we meet tells a different story about what they love about a visit to Emmaus Brighton, and perhaps that's exactly what makes it so special. There really is something here for everyone.

We offer so much more than the average charity shop. Our community is thriving and there are so many ways to spend your own special time at Emmaus.

You can browse and shop, explore the grounds, eat and relax. All in the peaceful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle.

Emmaus, an international solidarity movement unlike any other! Made up of the thousands of men and women whose work is motivated by the simple sentences: 'serve first those who suffer most' and 'fight against the causes of poverty'.

Working together to end homelessness

Brighton Bricks started as an group for adult fans of LEGO in BRIGHTON & HOVE to meet up, and over the years it has transformed as we realised LEGO is so much more than a toy, it is a tool which can foster creative conversation, it is a mindfulness tool, it can bring people together, help businesses with their core values, and so much more.

Most importantly we want to people to know there is no age limit for play. Be you a toddler, or in your 70s, then you can play with plastic bricks.

We host various regular events, and are available to host bespoke LEGO workshops.

If you interested in learning more or joining in then you can check out our Facebook page or our Facebook group or email me at nick@brightgreenpenguin.com

Our recovery coaching empowers through connection, community, and hope. We inspire by example and our own profound journeys through addiction and recovery. We are motivated by our knowledge that a different life is always possible.

We support individuals, helping them to recognize their own needs, aspirations, and options; and empower them to uncover their own potential and reclaim their lives.

If you would like some 1:1 support, our Recovery Coaches are based at Cascade Cafe, 24 Baker Street, Brighton BN1 4JN .

We do not judge and serve lovely coffee too.

When drug addiction enters a family via one of its members, the effect can be devastating. If you have reason to believe or even a vague suspicion that someone close to you may have a drug problem, we know how you feel. We know what it is like to be alone with this problem. We remember the feelings of panic and frustration that resulted from this discovery. We in Families Anonymous have experienced this too.

The aim of the group is to help the family and friends of people with a current, suspected or former drug problem by providing mutual support and to offer a forum where experiences and anxieties can be shared. In the group members learn to come to terms with the problem that is disrupting their lives. Attending meetings helps members adopt an honest and consistent approach towards the addict. This in turn often brings him/her to realise that he/she needs help to live without drugs. Experience has shown that help for the family and friends means important help for the drug-dependent person.

We attempted to use others - our mates, friends, and even our children, as our sole source of identity, value and well being, and as a way of trying to restore within us the emotional losses from our childhoods. Our histories may include other powerful addictions which at times we have used to cope with our codependence.

We have all learned to survive life, but in CoDA we are learning to live life. Through applying the Twelve Steps and principles found in CoDA to our daily life and relationships both present and past - we can experience a new freedom from our self defeating lifestyles. It is an individual growth process. Each of us is growing at our own pace and will continue to do so as we remain open to God's will for us on a daily basis. Our sharing is our way of identification and helps us to free the emotional bonds of our past and the compulsive control of our present.
