Out & About Groups

The Out and About Peer Support Groups at CFI are a great way for individuals with disabilities to connect and support each other. The first group started back in 2005 in Lakewood and has been a huge success. We currently have four groups, which are in Lakewood, Marysville, Burlington, and Bellingham. Each of the groups are open to adults and seniors who are living independently with a disability.

The purpose of these groups are threefold:

1. For individuals to support and mentor each other.

2. For individuals to learn about services and disability-related issues in their local community.

3. Individuals to get out into the community and have fun together.

For more information on the individual groups please see below.
