This peer to peer group is for all individuals who use a wheelchair regardless of if you have an acquired disability due to an accident, violence or illness, have any type paralysis or functional limitation, or were born with a developmental disability. This support group is peer led by individuals who have lived experience navigating through life’s challenges and aim to help others.
