ChIPS Chronic Illness Peer Support Introduction Group
About
ChIPS Intro Group — A Day Just for You to connect & thrive with ChIPS peers.
Are you a young person living with a chronic illness? Come join us for a supportive, fun, and inclusive one-day ChIPS Peer Support Intro Group designed especially for you!
This welcoming event is all about connection, creativity, and community. Through games, group discussions, and hands-on activities, we’ll explore meaningful topics like:
✨ Building relationships
✨ Managing life’s challenges
✨ Practicing mindfulness and self-care
✨ Speaking up and advocating for yourself
✨ Plus fun crafts, board games and team building games.
You’ll be joined by supportive staff and 5–10 other young people who truly get what you're going through. It's a great chance to share, learn, and build friendships in a relaxed environment.
What’s included:
✔ Morning tea and lunch (let us know your dietary needs!)
✔ A fully accessible venue
✔ All materials provided — just bring your water bottle, any medications you need, and your positive energy!
Whether you’re outgoing or more reserved, this day is about being yourself and feeling supported. We can’t wait to meet you!
The introduction group is the final stage of onboarding as a CHIPPER! Onboarded CHIPPERS are invited to all exciting ChIPS social events and the ChIPS camp!
Spots are limited, so be sure to register early to secure your place. We’d love to have you with us for this special day!
