Taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical health. This summer BALANCE is pleased to provide a special series of online mental health support pop-up sessions. Open to all persons living with a visual disability, these workshops provide a safe, welcoming space to explore effective strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

Title: How to Cope with Grief and Loss of Sight

Description: This workshop led by Social Worker and BALANCE Counsellor Melanie Marsden will cover the 5 stages of grief and accompanying coping strategies. We will also challenge common beliefs and misconceptions around the impact of sight loss and living a fulfilling life. Our goal is for attendees to feel empowered in dealing with grief and its impact.

You may contact the BALANCE office at 416-236-1796 or email us at info@balancefba.org for more information.

This support group offers a welcoming space to express yourself, share your experiences, and connect with others who understand your journey. Facilitated by Melanie Marsden, a trained professional with lived experience of blindness, the group is designed to help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential and supportive setting.

By sharing our stories and listening to one another, we can learn valuable coping strategies and gain new perspectives. Throughout the program, we will also tap into resources through informative podcasts and discussions, introducing participants to support they might not have known about before.

At the end of the 12 weeks, participants will leave with a sense of empowerment, equipped with more resources and deeper connections, and having integrated their experiences in a meaningful way.
