Peer support
Every family with a child with disability has travelled a unique journey, full of joys and challenges. Connecting with other families through peer support groups can help you feel more confident, capable and less isolated.
Peer support can help you to overcome the challenges and celebrate the joys and the gains, no matter how big or small.
ACD can help you connect to a peer support group in your local area. We work with peer support groups across Victoria to provide information and resources.
