CAMH surveys families on stress

The survey is based on a consultation between family representatives of Autism Ontario and Drs. Lunsky and Weiss in November 2008. At that time, families from across the province generously shared their observations about  the challenges and triumphs that families experience in raising a youth or adult with ASD. The CAMH researchers also worked with Autism Ontario to carry out a brief online survey of the experiences of crisis of families across the lifespan, and learned that this is a very important topic for many families.

The purpose of the survey is to find out about how you and your family handle stresses, how you feel, and what kinds of services you use. The survey is confidential.

*    In order to understand families' experiences, family members are asked to complete an on-line questionnaire. Participation takes approximately 30 minutes.
