C4C publishes national report on autism service provision in Italy, Germany and Greece

The C4C consortium has published National Perspectives on Service Provision for Autism, examining autism care and family support in Italy, Germany, and Greece. While each country has established support systems, all face challenges including regional inequalities, delayed access, administrative barriers, and inconsistent servi ce provision. Caregivers often act as coordinators and advocates within fragmented systems. The report highlights high levels of caregiver burden, linked to service navigation difficulties and systemic shortcomings. These findings complement the scoping review and will help shape C4C's training programme, ensuring it supports both practical caregiving skills and carer wellbeing across different national contexts.

C4C maps support for autism carers across Europe

Our consortium has published a scoping review on how best to support carers of autistic people in both everyday caregiving and managing the emotional demands of the role. The review mapped evidence across health, education, psychology, and social care, analysing 128 studies. Strong evidence supported communication tools, behavioural and skill-based approaches, structured routines, and carer training, with coaching proving more effective than information alone. Evidence also showed that psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioural approaches, mindfulness, and peer support can reduce carer stress and burden. Findings will inform C4C training, integrating practical caregiving skills with carer wellbeing and confidence.
