About
Vision loss can be a traumatic experience, often bringing on feelings of grief and loss as individuals adjust to a new way of life. At Outlook Enrichment, our support group provides a space for individuals with vision loss to process these changes, connect with others, and build a path forward together.
Open to anyone navigating vision loss, the group is peer-led and supported by individuals who are also blind or visually impaired. Support group sessions take a holistic approach, exploring how vision loss affects various aspects of life and relationships, personally and within the broader community. Many discussions are framed around wellness models like the Wellness Wheel, including emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental, financial, and spiritual wellness. Sessions may also focus on trust, confidence, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, and more.
Peer Modeling
Alongside the facilitator, long-time participants often take an active role in shaping the conversation. They often suggest discussion topics and occasionally lead sessions. Past conversations have explored themes like alternative health, loneliness, developing trust, stigma, and isolation.
