Our Peer Support programs facilitate a safe and supportive environment,in group situations, where individuals give and receive encouragement and moral support. This is facilitated by gathering persons together with disabilities, who share similar interests and experiences. Our groups may be experiential; information packed, may involve hands on learning, or may just be FUN!!! In this supported environment individuals are able to increase skills, acquire new skills and build on established skills. The resulting outcome is, that each participant will gain the self confidence needed to manage their personal challenges, overcome barriers and attain their own unique goals.Individual Peer Support is also available
