Some days are just tough, and that’s completely okay.

At CAL, peer support means connecting with someone who gets it, someone with lived experience who understands the ups and downs of navigating life with a disability.

- The relationship between early adversity and later substance use
- Trauma responses in children and youth in foster care
- Practical, trauma‑informed approaches we can use in clinical and community settings.
