Peer support means learning from people who have been where you are. People with disabilities who have first-hand experience may be the best resource to help individuals overcome barriers.Additionally, we have two peer groups that meet regularly for either game nights or fitness class!
Peer Outreach Program & Game Night!
Our Peer Outreach Program, P.O.P., assist peoples with disabilities to reach their goals through one-on-one peer mentoring relationships. Peer support can promote independence, build lifelong advocacy skills, and develop future leaders in our community. What does this mean? Simply put, we offer social opportunities in the hopes of building a united community and connecting you to other people with disabilities and lived experiences. Anyone with a disability or shared lived experiences is welcome.Our main event is monthly game nights! Every last Friday of the month, you can find our group in the DCM office playing games! We usually play uno, cards, spades, dominoes, checkers, and more! Our games and cards are accessible to blind and low-vision players as we offer braille, large print, or a sighted volunteer to assist with game play. Your attendance and any snacks we provide are FREE.Join us for a night of fun and socializing!
