Peer Connect

Peer Connect

Some people in our community are mostly or fully independent but haven’t found the right people yet. This group is for them.
 
Peer Connect brings together autistic young adults who communicate in similar ways and are looking for genuine connection – without the structure of a formally supported group.

  • You've been through mainstream school, uni or work, but finding people who really get you hasn't come easily
  • You're mostly independent, though some things are still a work in progress
  • You may also have ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia or other forms of neurodivergence.
  • You may identify as LGBTQIA+, or be welcoming of those who do.
  • You've found socialising harder than it looks - even when you seem fine on the outside.
  • You'd like more friends, different friends, or maybe your first real friendship.
  • You want a space where you can show up as yourself
  • You're open to new experiences and ready to get a bit more out of life

    FaQ

    What's the difference between Peer Connect and other Travengers groups?

    Travengers Social Groups and Clubs have a support worker present – typically one per three participants – who helps with facilitating connection, managing support needs and any other practical or emotional assistance along the way. Peer Connect has a facilitator who leads the activity, but there is no support worker present. Socialising and day-to-day things are done independently.

    You’re welcome to give it a try. That said, if you think some support would help you feel more comfortable at first, our Travengers Social Groups are a great place to start – and Peer Connect will still be here when you’re ready.

    When you sign up on our website, you’ll receive a short form to complete. We’ll take a look at your profile and suggest the best starting point for you, then reach out with next steps.
