Empower Yourself with Peer Support Workshops for Self-Directed Support
Join us at LCiL for interactive Peer Support workshops tailored to enhance your journey with Self-Directed Support (SDS). Our dedicated team is committed to providing a supportive platform where service users can share life experiences, learn from each other, and develop essential skills for navigating the SDS landscape.
Developing Engaging Workshop Series
Our team continually develops new workshop series to meet the evolving needs of our service users. Whether you’re a disabled individual, an older adult, or a parent carer, our workshops are designed to cater to your specific needs and interests.
Expert Facilitation Team
Our workshops are co-facilitated by two Development Workers who bring expertise, warmth, and familiarity to each session. Additionally, our LCiL Champions share invaluable insights based on their lived experiences, enriching the workshop experience for all participants.
What to Expect
• Connect with others facing similar challenges
• Enhance your SDS knowledge and skills
• Explore support ideas and opportunities
• Access practical information and resources
• Build confidence in seeking support
From the group I have learnt to ask questions and not to give up. If there is something I don’t understand I will ask the person to explain it to me instead of just being in the dark all the time.
Free and Informative Workshops
Our workshops are free to attend and typically last around one and a half hours. Recent workshop topics include Preparing for Meetings and Assessments, Introduction to SDS, and Next Steps for Parent Carers.
