Side By Side Peer Support Service

Posted on: July 5, 2023

Side by Side is a peer support service for families who care for, or support, an adult with a learning disability or autism. We achieve this by pairing them with another family with first-hand experience and empathy, who can provide informal support.

Our aims are:

To find and link families who would benefit from informal, over the phone support

To help families connect and build a rapport one to one

To bring families together with common shared experience
