South East Metro
Who is this group for?
This group is for NDIS participants, their families and carers who live in either the City of Canning, City of Gosnells, City of Belmont or the Town of Victoria Park.
What do we talk about?
This group meets either online or face to face and is very relaxed and casual. People share stories and experiences about their NDIS journeys and provide support to each other through listening and talking. Our Mission staff are present to help answer any specific NDIS questions but mostly just support the group to remain a safe space for people to share their successes, worries and questions. We hope going forward to also organise some guest speakers based on what the group wants.
When does this group meet?
We typically meet once a month on a weekday evening from 5.30 – 7.30pm.
How can I get involved?
