Peer groups are a collective environment encouraging people with disability to share stories and learn from others in a similar situation in a place that is safe and free from judgement.
Meeting monthly in an accessible location, including online options, peer groups are led by skilled facilitators with personal experience of disability. They facilitate the group in topics of interest helping group members achieve personal goals and learn new information. Some of our groups also attend social outings on occasions.
At times, our peer groups invite guest speakers and presenters on topics which are relevant to our project outcomes and outcomes determined by the group members.
Examples of topics that may be discussed:
- Information and a better understanding of any aspect of the NDIS;
- Self-advocacy, assertiveness, and your rights or the rights of your child;
- Resilience during and beyond the coronavirus pandemic;
- Enhancing independence;
- Relationships;
- Adapting to change;
- Practical living skills;
- Travel accessibility (local, interstate and overseas);
- Accessing your community and activities;
- Barriers – internal or external.
