The sessions are welcoming, relaxed and informal. Bringing people together to discuss the aspects of SDS that matter to them. We aim to increase understanding around Self-Directed Support, enabling you to make informed decisions about social care.

What is peer support?

Peers are those with similar lived experiences who can understand and offer support.

Peer support groups create an environment that uses collective knowledge, lived experience, and a mutual approach to build awareness and knowledge. The relationships and community built through peer support groups can also offer emotional and practical support.
