Support Groups
Disabled Men
Male Consumers organized this group to compliment the Support Group for Disabled Women. Men are encouraged to voice their concerns and opinions on a wide range of topics including Men’s health, sex, assistance with prescription drug coverage, and housing among others. Group members also advocate being active in all things that enhance or enrich their lives, whether it be taking part in the political process or taking a more proactive approach to what one might do at their leisure.
Momma Chronicles
Come out and share your journey of motherhood with other disabled moms at this support group run by and for mothers with disabilities. The group talks about adapting play time with their children and how they keep their children safe from harming themselves. They are planning on making a documentary series and have more outings.
Support Group for People with Psychiatric Disabilities
Any Consumer of any age with a Psychiatric Disability or Mental Health Condition is welcome to participate in this community-based peer support group. Group members share their stories in a confidential setting and connect with one another. Members choose the topics of discussion, and topics range from diminishing stigma and building self-esteem to discussions on the difficulties with relationships, employment, housing, and law enforcement.
