BALANCE is pleased to announce that Sharing Space Support Group is moving to a year-round format with groups running every Tuesday, starting Tuesday January 12th, from 1:30pm-3:30pm.

The BALANCE Sharing Space Support Group is year-round professionally facilitated group counselling for adults who are blind or living with sight loss. From navigating during the pandemic to navigating ableism at any time, the groups address life’s challenges specifically for blind people, whether big or small, in a safe and supportive group experience (currently offered virtually through Zoom). Our Sharing Space Support Groups are facilitated by people with lived experience and a Social Work background.

This is open only to BALANCE clients. You need a service agreement in place in order to participate. If you don't have one, please call our office at 416-236-1796 extension 0 or email info@balancefba.org to get more information.

February 5, 2021

These workshops are for both those who are new to iPhone as well as those looking to improve their knowledge and use of the device. The purpose of these sessions is to provide a setting to discuss the use of, or changes, to specific apps.

This week Beyond Siri Explores:  The Podcast Player

Whether you are wishing to learn something new, wanting to stay informed with current news and events, or just require some relaxing entertainment, podcasts will fill this void. We will explain how to use Podcasts, the podcast player that comes preinstalled with every iPhone/iPad.

Learn how to:

  • Use the Search and Browse tabs to locate podcast feeds,
  • subscribe/unsubscribe to them,
  • use the library and the various controls within,
  • the difference between the Mini Player and the Now Playing screens, and,
  • how to customize download settings.

If you are interested, please join us for another hour of Beyond Siri.

Sessions will be bi-weekly on Fridays from 3:00pm - 4:00pm via Zoom and classes will be repeated periodically. Participants must have a service agreement in place to join this group.
