Experiencing vision loss can be overwhelming and scary. You may find that you need support beyond what you receive at your doctor’s office. A vision loss support group may be a great place for you to find encouragement, assistance, and understanding from others who are also living with low vision or blindness.
At a select number of centers, students can meet with a skilled social worker to aid in dealing in their journey of vision loss through either one-on-one sessions or in-person groups. Or, if home feels better, support groups also meet remotely online or hybrid – some lead by the students themselves.
Whatever mode, in-person, or online, students have a forum for expressing frustrations, asking for advice and sharing stories with people who truly get it. Many have formed life-long friendships.
