About the event
Roadmap after Vision Loss
Would you like to be able to lead an active and fulfilled life in spite of 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. By sharing stories, insight and experiences, you may 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.
We invite you to participate in our series of free interactive training sessions to explore these strategies and tools. The training provides a great opportunity to learn and develop skills, while connecting to other people with similar experiences.
This training will consist of four sessions and will be a combination of face-to-face and virtual sessions. Each session will run between 60 and 80 minutes. By attending all four sessions, you will gain valuable insights and skills to help you navigate through the challenges of vision loss.
