SDS Transitions Information Session – Reflections
The SDS Team run peer support groups and workshops for both disabled people and people living with long term conditions, and parent carers. Through peer supports sessions for parent carers that we run with VOCAL, we have seen that parent carers – and disabled young people themselves – often find the transition into adulthood particularly difficult.

Because of this, we decided to invite some guest speakers to join our Champions for an information session on the evening of 12th May.
