*We are a peer support and social group for young adults living with chronic illness or disability.*
We have members in Denver, Englewood, Centennial, Littleton, Aurora and Lonetree to name a few, but it is Denver and surrounding areas. Our every other Monday 6:30pm Coffee Shop Meetups are in Denver or Englewood but we are discussing alternating locations so more people from various locations can have better access! We also have additional meetups like attending Comedy Works events in Denver.
Are you a young adult who lives with a chronic illness or disability in the Denver or surrounding areas? You are not alone. As young adults, we are at a point in our lives where we are just beginning to define our identities. Dating, starting a family, pursuing education or a certain career path, and seeking out new and exciting experiences are all areas which consistently occupy our minds as young adults. Living life at this pivotal period in our lives can be difficult in it's own right--living with a chronic illness or disability can make this seem near impossible.
Upon receiving a diagnosis, Chris, my co-leader, and I (Shane) searched for support within our demographic to no avail. A middle-aged or elderly individual living with illness/disability deals with considerably different issues than young adults. So, we decided to create a peer support group specifically for young adults.
