Home » Our Services » Peer Groups

Peer groups can help you feel accepted, increase your self- confidence, and meet new people. But more than that, peer support can be a powerful tool in reducing stress and improving your mental health, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Being part of a Peer group can be a rich source of learning. It offers the unique opportunity to gain new knowledge from more experienced peers and be inspired by their journeys. Their experiences can be your best teachers.

As you face daily challenges, a peer group is a great place to share resources. Some members will have decades of experience, while others might have just a few years. Together, this collective knowledge is a valuable resource that can guide you on your journey of personal growth and learning.

Best of all, being a part of a peer group will Improve your Self- Esteem. Receiving support from others who understand what you’re going through can provide a profound sense of belonging and reassurance, fostering a secure and understood environment for personal growth.

Just Us Guys

Men get together once a month to share and discover topics of interest. They enjoy investigating ghost and crime stories, studying historical legends, and visiting cultural sites. Occasionally, they will explore a newfound interest, like ancestry, but always find their way back to their favorite topics.

Writers Unleashed

A group where men and women can express their thoughts and feelings, improve their communication skills, and engage in thought-provoking word games.

Young at Heart Women’s Book Club

The oldest GDH club has members who have committed themselves to reading an assigned book each month and deep-discussing it. Once a year, the club chooses a topic for reading preparation for a field trip that will further expand their understanding of the year’s topic. These women take fun reading seriously.

Kane Ka Pila Ukulele Club

These men and women come together weekly to learn and practice selected songs. Many are new to the ukulele but have always shied from trying. In this setting, no one is an expert, and everyone is good—good because they practice and they enjoy it. This is a laid-back, fun-loving ukulele group.

Guide Dogs 808

First-time handlers gain so much support from the seasoned handlers in the group, and seasoned handlers learn new techniques and approaches to handling their dog or public situation. Whatever the case, every handler gives and takes something, which, at the end of the day, is rewarding. But most of all, the dogs know the day and look forward to meeting with their colleagues for a play date.

Finger Talk

Members of this club find that they learn best from their peers because they understand and, in most cases, share the same experience. This group learns to use a variety of technology devices and apps to complete daily tasks safely and effectively. Members have learned to use the accessibility features on their iPhones more effectively, book reading apps, banking apps, online store shopping apps, and more.

With many of our clients involved in multiple clubs, it’s clear how independent they’ve become. Find something you’re interested in and give it a try. You’ll be opening yourself up to new friendships and shared interests.
