What is peer support?

Peer support provides opportunities for people with shared or similar experiences to come together and support each other.

Who is this group for?

This brand-new group is open to anyone over the age of 18 with a learning disability and/or autism living in Trafford. This group is right for you if you want to develop your confidence, knowledge and self-advocacy skills, whilst using your own life experiences to help others and develop the future of Trafford services.
