About the event
Join us in our next Empowered Living Program sessions: Roadmap after vision loss.
Vision loss can be scary, overwhelming and frustrating but you don’t have to go through it alone! Join our Empowered Living program and connect with others who have low vision or blindness. Sharing stories, insight and experiences, you may also find supports or build new friendships.
Our program is designed to provide you with the tools and support you need to adapt to vision loss and continue living independently with increased confidence. Over the course of four sessions, we’ll cover a range of topics, including:
- Understanding emotions: Learn about the emotional stages that often accompany vision loss and discover strategies to build emotional resilience.
- Simple adaptations for managing daily life – Finding objects and reading labels.
- Session 1: Wednesday 18 October 2023
- Session 2: Wednesday 25 October 2023
- Session 3: Wednesday 1 November 2023
- Session 4: Wednesday 8 November 2023
Session Times:
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm.
