Blind Beginnings is excited to be bringing back our monthly Creating Confidence Workshops virtually to teens from across BC!

Making friends when you are blind or partially sighted can have some extra challenges.  So much of communication is non-verbal, and we may not be aware what our non-verbal communication is communicating to our peers.  Most of our peers may have little experience with a person who is blind or partially sighted, which means the process of building a friendship has to often include some educating, advocating, and making people comfortable with our disability.  

Blind Beginnings teens are invited to join us on Friday January 21 for part 1 of Making Friends!  We’ll be talking about:

• Misconceptions people may have about blindness
• What we can do to change those misconceptions
• How to answer questions about our vision
• How to describe what we can or can’t see

When: Friday January 21, 2022 

Time: 7:00 – 8:30 PM

Where: Join us from your home using Zoom Conferencing

Why: Because being the only youth who is blind or partially sighted in your family, school, and community can feel isolating, and Blind Beginnings is a place where you can connect with others who understand.
