In 2024, about 1 in 4 adults in the United States reported not having social and emotional support, according to CDC data.
At Rest & Reconnect LV, we understand that isolation sucks. For people living with chronic pain, mental health conditions, or disabilities, isolation can be even harder.
Support groups are often limited by a specific condition or set of qualifications. Rest & Reconnect LV’s "Support UP" is designed for adults with any disability, chronic illness, chronic pain, mental health condition, or neurodivergence.
Meetings follow a trauma-informed and peer-led approach. Laya, the founding organizer, has over three years of experience facilitating community outreach and peer-centered conversations.
During each session, there will be a topic aimed at uplifting people with disabilities and reducing isolation. The first two support group meetings are centered around empowerment and resilience.
