Vision Loss and Identity-Newcomers Support Group Series

Online

Are you new to vision loss? Need someone to talk to? We welcome you to join the Newcomer Support Group series. These virtual gatherings are designed to share help and provide a community of peers who are also learning how to adjust to vision loss.

You are welcome to join us at any time and complete our Newcomer Topics in any order. The topics are:

Vision Loss and Identity

Communicating with Loved Ones

Building Resiliency around Vision Loss

Community Resources for Vision Loss

Please register by clicking on the days and times you would like below. Due to how our registration system works, you will need to register for one topic at a time, but you don’t need to wait to complete a group before adding the next ones. We offer English and Spanish support groups.
