Do you feel like no one understands your disability? Have you ever wished you had someone to share your feelings with? Are you having trouble adjusting to a newly acquired disability and all of the life-changing arrangements it includes? IVCIL provides a Peer Support Group to empower people with disabilities and to allow them to share experiences, feelings, and awareness of disability issues with others who have the same or similar issues. The Peer Support Group relationship helps individuals work through problems specific to a particular disability in a group setting with the encouragement and support of their peers.

Open discussion topics and activities will not be limited to, but will include:

  • Disability Issues
  • Life Issues
  • Independent Living Skills
  • Disability Rights Awareness


At our meetings we will also enjoy socializing, occasionally having a special speaker for a specific topic of interest to the group by request, and developing connections with others who share our concerns.
