Episode 238 - Mental Well‑Being and Limitless Potential for Youth Who Are Blind and Low Vision

In this special episode, Shawn shares an edited recording of a webinar she gave for the BVI Psych webinar series at the California School for the Blind earlier this year. Drawing on over 40 years of lived experience with blindness and over two decades working with children, youth, and families, Shawn explores what mental well-being looks like for students who are blind and low vision and why counseling from professionals with lived experience can be incredibly impactful. Shawn also introduces her “5 C’s Formula to Limitlessness”, a practical, hopeful framework for moving blind and low vision children and their families from hopelessness to possibility.
