“Joining a QDN Peer Support group can have many benefits. Peer Support Groups are a great way to help us connect in these troubled times and possibly make new friends. They provide a chance to listen to other people’s stories, to tell your own story, to share information and to hear from guest speakers who talk on a variety of subjects.”

Mike Fisher, Sunnybank.
