Group meet monthly online via Zoom.
This Peer Support Group is for parent carers of disabled children and children with learning difficulties.
The monthly peer support group is organised and facilitated by LCiL staff, but owned by the group members, who meet to:
- Discuss issues and share information
- Get practical information, find out about resources and who to ask
- Develop skills and build confidence
- Hear from guest speakers and organisations on a range of topics, picked by the group
Peer support is a way of giving and receiving help (knowledge, emotional assistance or practical help) by understanding others’ situations through shared personal experience. It’s different from other types of support because the source of support is a person with similar relevant experience.
Peer support is built on respect, empathy, shared responsibility and mutual benefit.
Peer support groups, which meet regularly for the sole purpose of peer support. These are led by the group members – they decide what topics they discuss, and people who’re not peers (for example workers from other organisations) can attend only at their invitation.
