about the ATF Fall Festival October 15 (see right) click here.

This special annual celebration every third Thursday of October (on the 15th this year) is to acknowledge the role of peers in our lives.

While peer support specialists in the disability field -- both mental & physical -- started this day, it really is for everyone. Each of us is a peer. Each of us needs a peer in our life.

Here is a chance to thank them all.

There are now celebrations of peer support all over the world. To read more about this, just point your search engine to the phrase: Global Peer Support Celebration.
