Support Groups at RIPIN

RIPIN’s peer support group offers families an easy way to connect with others that have similar experiences. Our facilitators use their experiences to guide families towards appropriate resources and to build self-advocacy skills through peer to peer support.

Peer Support Group Schedule

The Peer-to-Peer Connections English-language support group meets the third Wednesday of each month, virtually, at two convenient times – 12:30-1:30 PM or 7:00-8:00 PM.

El grupo de apoyo en español para familias de niños con necesidades especiales se reúne el cuarto miércoles de cada mes de 12:30 a 1:30 pm y de 6:00 a 7:00 pm. Actualmente, todas las reuniones se celebran virtualmente a través de Zoom.
