PEER SUPPORT GROUP

FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH

A DISABILITY

Join us for a free 6-week peer support group. The BC Coalition of People with Disabilities has a peer support group for people living with a disability. What is “peer support”? It is an opportunity for people to exchange ideas and experiences in a confidential, respectful environment.

The group will explore many topics, such as:

- Daily living and coping in a changed world

- Relationships with friends, family and others

- Navigating medical systems

- Personal wellness

- Finding joy

- Exploring and sharing ideas about 'what's next'.

The group size will be limited to a maximum of 15. There will be a trained facilitator and participants can participate as much as they feel comfortable. Bus tickets and snacks provided.
