HEART & Vision: A NAMI Peer Vision Loss Group

A supportive and welcoming space for individuals living with vision loss. In partnership between Lion’s Services Inc., and NAMI Charlotte.

The Vision Loss Support Group is a free, peer-led support group for any adult who identifies as one with vision loss or visually impaired. Vision loss often deeply intersects with mental health conditions, and this group provides space to explore that connection, acknowledging both the unique strengths and the real stressors that can arise. You will gain insight from hearing the challenges and successes of others, and the groups are led by trained leaders who’ve been there.

Our support groups are unique because they follow a structured model to ensure you and others in the group have an opportunity to be heard and to get what you need.

• Free of cost to participants
• Designed for adults (18+) of all backgrounds
• Led by people with lived experience of vision loss and mental health challenges
• No specific medical therapy or treatment is endorsed
• Confidential
• Participation is optional

What You’ll Gain By sharing your experiences in a safe and confidential setting, you can gain hope and feel a sense of connection. The group encourages empathy, productive discussion, and a sense of community. You’ll benefit from others’ experiences, discover your inner strength, and empower yourself by sharing your own experiences in a non-judgmental space.

You Are Not Alone

Living with vision loss can feel isolating but you don’t have to navigate it alone. The HEART & Vision Support Group offers a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space to connect with others who understand the emotional, mental, and everyday realities of
vision loss. Whether you are newly adjusting or have lived with vision loss for years, you are welcome here.
