Stronger Steps Together

Stronger Steps Together (SST) is a new initiative designed to do exactly that, delivering foundational supports that help people with disability and their families build essential skills and capacity, connect with peers who understand their journey, and access the education and information they need to navigate life’s decisions with confidence.

By strengthening these building blocks; skill development, peer connection, and knowledge sharing, this project helps people with disability grow their independence, advocate for themselves, understand their rights, and take greater control over their own futures.

Peer Groups

It’s about more than services; it’s about creating the foundation for a fuller, more connected, and self-determined life.

Replacing the previous Stand by Me and ad hoc support model, Stronger Steps Together brings a more connected, purposeful approach to foundational support across the disability sector.

All P2P peer groups and events/activities are designed and led by people with lived experience of disability and who are navigating the disability sector.
