Peer Support & Mentoring Program

TWP Getting Social

A social group for individuals with disabilities, PCAs, family, friends, and service providers.

Join Us!

Looking to connect with others and build a supportive community? The Whole Person’s “Getting Social” peer support group offers a welcoming space for individuals with disabilities, their Personal Care Assistants, family, friends, and service providers to come together. We believe in the power of social connection and provide opportunities for interaction, shared experiences, and mutual support.

Plus, for our consumers living within a 5-mile radius of our building at 3710 Main Street in Kansas City, we offer convenient transportation to ensure accessibility for everyone.

Our group meetings the first Friday of each month, 1:00–3:00 PM (some events on the 2nd Friday).

Meet Your Organizer
