SUPPORT GROUPS
The Society offers support groups for clients and their families/caregivers.
Our Client Support Group focuses on addressing the emotional and adjustment needs of people who are newly diagnosed with a vision loss or who are totally blind. The group meets in an eight-week session with each session providing the opportunity to learn more about vision loss, develop coping skills, and share with others facing the same life situation. Limited transportation services for clients to participate in support groups may be available upon request.
We recognize that vision loss impacts the entire family and not just the person who has been diagnosed. Our Family Support Group provides an opportunity for the family to learn about resources, coping skills and how best to be of assistance to their loved ones with vision loss.
PEER GROUPS
The Society also serves as the meeting place for peer groups that are led by our clients and create opportunities for learning, sharing common interests, and social activities. For a list and schedule of upcoming peer group activities, visit the Calendar and News tab of our website.
