Support Groups: Here to Help You Adjust to Vision Loss

These classes are designed to help attendees get more comfortable with their vision loss by improving skills, sharing tips with other people who are blind or visually impaired, and through the support of trained experts in the vision loss field. Whether you’re new to vision loss or have been a part of the community for many years, you’re welcome and encouraged to attend.

Support groups include:

Gathering Pointe

This is a FREE facilitated adult discussion/support group for those with blindness and vision loss.

Gathering Pointe is held at the Alphapointe Life Skills Campus – 7501 Prospect Ave., KCMO, 64132. Meetings occur the second Thursday of every month from 3:00 to 4:00 PM.
