Individuals with disabilities who have gained knowledge and coping skills assist others in coping with their disability-related experiences. Trained volunteer counselors provide information, resource referral, emotional support and training. For information on volunteering, check out our Peer Mentor Informational Flyer  Interested in learning more about what it means to be paired with a trained Peer Support Counselor and start sharing your disability-related experiences?
