Phone Support Groups for Families of Blind Children and Teens by Brooklyn
Eagle ( edit at brooklyneagle.net ), published online 07-29-2009 

The Jewish Guild for the Blind's National Tele-Support Network, the only one
of its kind in the country, provides free, weekly telephone support groups
facilitated by social workers and psychologists for families of blind,
visually impaired or multi-disabled children and teens. The Guild is
nonsectarian and one of the nation's foremost not-for-profit vision health
agencies. 

Created by The Guild's Children's Vision Health Initiative, which seeks to
eliminate preventable vision loss in children, the Tele-Support Network
responds to a national need for support and facilitated interaction among
these families. For many, The Guild's Tele-Support Network is the only
opportunity for them to interact with other families with a blind or
visually impaired child and it meets a critical need especially if
participants live in small towns or rural areas. 

Families are encouraged to join The Guild's Tele-Support Network. To
register or for more information, please call (800) 915-0306 or visit
