The RAEN is an Autistic created, led and managed network based in Tasmania. RAEN facilitates a number of peer groups across the state and provides community, training and advocacy to improve the experiences of Autistic and neurodivergent people.
RAEN's Purpose
RAEN is a neurodivergent created, led and managed network that started as a grassroots peer network in the North-West of Tasmania and then expanded across the state.
RAEN’s purpose is to support and advocate for Autistic and ADHD people, their families, carers and support people in Tasmania, to facilitate peer connections between among and between Autistic and ADHD people, their families, carers and support people in Tasmania; and to build awareness and acceptance of Autism and ADHD in the community.
