About this service

If you have a disability and would like to discuss your concerns about issues affecting your ability to lead an independent lifestyle, ILRC's Peer Support Program can help.

The Program simply is consumers helping consumers. Whether as individuals or groups, consumers come together to share and build unique relationships that empower each individual to find their own way in a friendly, non-judgmental environment.

Life skills such as self-direction, assertiveness and relationships form the basis of independence. Often, these abilities need to be learned or strengthened for independent living to be fully realized. At ILRC, we offer the opportunity to realize independent living goals through Independent Living Skills training.

Presented either in a group setting or individually, our seminars and instruction have focused on such topics as:

  • Self-confidence, sexuality and self-image
  • Self-advocacy, rights and responsibilities
  • Self-management and other topics/issues as they arise.
