  • Evening Sharing Space Support Group

    Evening Sharing Space Support Group


    October 7, 2024

    This support group offers a welcoming space to express yourself, share your experiences, and connect with others who understand your journey. Facilitated by Melanie Marsden, a trained professional with lived experience of blindness, the group is designed to help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential and supportive setting.

    By sharing our stories and listening to one another, we can learn valuable coping strategies and gain new perspectives. Throughout the program, we will also tap into resources through informative podcasts and discussions, introducing participants to support they might not have known about before.

    At the end of the 12 weeks, participants will leave with a sense of empowerment, equipped with more resources and deeper connections, and having integrated their experiences in a meaningful way.

    How to Register:
    To join the Evening Sharing Space Support Group, please email us at info@balancefba.org or call 416-236-1796 ext. 0

    We encourage you to take part in this valuable opportunity to connect, share, and grow within a caring community.
