Support Groups

Find support, make connections and discover new possibilities.

When you experience a loss of vision, you can feel isolated and unsure of how to continue with your goals and dreams. Connecting with others who are living with vision loss is invaluable to helping you find your way

Vision Forward offers support groups for people to learn from each other’s life experiences-tested knowledge and wisdom. Groups offered include those for younger adults, older adults, persons with partial vision and parents of visually impaired children. For information for parents of children with visual impairments, visit https://vision-forward.org/family-connections/

Adult support groups are small and based on the needs of the members. Some meet in person while others are held over the phone or through Zoom. Using a computer is not required to participate.

Erica Weise, Vision Forward’s Peer Counselor, facilitates the adult support group meetings. Erica has a vision impairment as well as years of professional experience working with persons with vision loss and their families.
