Create meaningful relationships and set aside some time to connect at our monthly meetups.
Being on the disability journey doesn’t mean that you should give up on your social life. Through our monthly meet-ups, you’ll carve out time to meaningfully connect with others navigating similar journeys. You’ll also create some well-needed self-care time in a relaxed, casual setting, and you’ll feel rejuvenated and supported.
A Time For Meaningful and Relaxed Support
Meet-ups are perfect for those who want a more personalized connection with others who are on a like-minded journey. Each month we have multiple groups that get together, relax, talk about the joys and struggles of being part of the disability community, and encourage each other to succeed. Each group looks very different, and it’s that variety that makes each group a special place to find support.
