Carer Wellbeing Seminar Series
This program is offered throughout the year and is for relatives or individuals who are supporting people with vision loss.
It’s facilitated by fully qualified social workers over a three week period with each session lasting three hours in duration.
The aim of this program is to provide you with practical information and will help to:
- Increase your knowledge and understanding of eye conditions and the ways you can support someone with vision impairment
- Improve your understanding of the resources, services, income support and concessions that exist
- Recognise possible impacts on you as a carer and your relationships, helping to develop strategies to promote wellness and self-care
VisAbility social workers are accredited members of the Australian Association of Social Workers.
