Peer Support Groups
Peer groups provide a forum for problem solving, brainstorming, sharing of concerns, successes, and ways to address issues individually and collectively. For people with disabilities, peer support groups can be a great way to network with your local disability community, get resources and even learn helpful life skills.
We all know that there can be a lot to navigate, but you don’t have to do it alone. Finding a group of people who have “rolled a mile in your shoes” can make all the difference.
Visit our Peer Support Group pages for more information about each of these groups, meeting dates, locations and contact information.
