Across the country, we are witnessing a troubling resurgence of calls to return to mass institutionalization—a failed and deeply harmful approach that once separated families, stripped individuals of dignity, and diverted resources away from community‑based solutions. This renewed push toward institutional care, driven by workforce shortages and gaps in effective treatment, threatens to reverse decades of progress. To address this issue and as part of our yearlong strategic vision, NFF is hosting a 5-part webinar series.

This is an hour-long support group for Autistic LGBTQIA+ adults. It is a safe space to find community, share stories with, or gather support if needed from folks of similar experiences. This group hopes to provide support and comfort. The group is facilitated by a trans person on the spectrum. No autism (or related) diagnoses are required, nor is certainty about your queer identity. This is a space to explore all those things. It is also for all post-high school adults over 18 years old.
