A peer support network is where people get together as equals to provide support to each other because of similar experiences or circumstances in their life.
Joining a Peer Support Network is a great way to build connections with people living with disability, and sometimes family members of people living with disability. It will give you access to a support group of people you can talk to about things that are important to you, and who you can share information with and learn from. Networks are free to join. They come in all shapes and sizes. There is no one-size-fits-all model.
You can join a network that's close to where you live, one with people who live with similar disability, one with people who share a specific interest or identity, or a network that only meets on the internet.
WAiS funds, and facilitates a Peer to Peer Support Group in Western Australia. It is specifically for people who are interested in Self Directing or Self Managing their supports and services.
