Peer Support Groups – Connecting with Others

Our Peer Support groups are facilitated by CPWD staff, but many are run and moderated by consumers with disabilities. Participants engage in peer-to-peer learning, community building and peer leadership, by sharing struggles, strengths, real-world experience, challenges, and dreams.

Many individuals love being a part of Peer Support groups because they don’t feel alone, but rather feel connected, empowered, and hopeful about their lives and goals.
