Support Groups

Peer Support Groups

Knowledgeable Connections staff members offer support, teach valuable skills, and share useful information with consumers who live within our seven-county northeastern Colorado region. Consumers can overcome barriers, handle the stress of living with a disability, and gain awareness of resources that are helpful in maintaining personal independence through these interactions and tools.

Connections hosts several peer support groups. These online groups offer enrichment in physical and mental health, socialization, stress management, and disability education. All support groups are free of cost.
