Peer Supporters serve as role models, as only someone with personal experience with disabilities can do. They share life experiences and bring new ideas and information to facilitate independence. They work one-on-one, in small groups, and hold regular monthly Peer Support Groups for those interested—both on-site and online. Please check out our schedule below:
Empower Hour
Have a disability? Want to build your support network? Empower Hour is led by your peers and meets to discuss independence, share resources, make new friends, and give support to each other. Empower Hour is a great chance to connect with others. Â
Empower Hour meets online weekly: Thursdays from 1 pm to 2 pm
In Person Monthly at Columbia and Greenville offices: 2nd Thursday of each month from 3 pm- 4 pm.
