Getting support
Care assessments help to show us your care and support needs and whether you are eligible for support. We will work with you to look at any difficulties you are having in your day-to-day life and develop ways to help you reach your personal goals.

Information and support available for neurodivergent people and their families
A new e-booklet aiming to improve the information and support available for neurodivergent people and their families has been published and available on the Dimensions News page.
The booklet has been co-produced with input from professionals across Coventry and Warwickshire and neurodivergent people and their families. It provides a wealth of information all in one place about services and support available for those who are diagnosed or who self-identify as neurodivergent and those who care for and support them.
As well as a comprehensive list of services available to support children and young people and adults, there is a Frequently Asked Questions section covering everything from dealing with anxiety and managing impulses, to building positive friendships and family relationships and support for physical and mental health.
