Peer Support
Peer support programs enable people to speak up for themselves and support members who need training and encouragement to voice their concerns, access information, resolve issues and identify available support options, either within or outside the NDIS. Peer support also provides opportunities for peer to peer support and activities to educate and encourage people. In this way group members will gain the knowledge and develop the skills required to live independent lives and contribute to their community.
Sister Rocks Peer Support and Self Advocacy Group
Sister Rocks Peer Support and Self Advocacy Group is run by people who have a disability.
The group works together to make sure its members have the same rights, choices and opportunities as anyone else.
Self Advocacy Groups support people to:
👉Speak up for their rights and help others to do the same
👉Think about options and tell our leaders what they think and need
👉Learn and share information, ideas and skills
👉Plan and work together for more inclusive communities
👉Meet new people and make friends
👉Tell governments and the community about their rights, needs and issues
A facilitator from Grampians disAbility Advocacy assists with the running of the group.
The facilitator’s role is to guide the meeting or give advice if the group decides to invite speakers or other organisations.
The group is supported to be as independent as possible to reach its goals by working together.
At the start of each year a planning session is held to set the program for the year
