Local Peer Support Group

Parents and Carer’s Peer Support Group

  • Date and Time info: 23/04/2025 from 19:00:00 to 20:30:00
  • Location: Via Zoom
  • Online

Retina UK has launched a new support group for parents and carers. We all know that being a parent or carer brings it’s challenges as well as it’s joys; add in a diagnosis of a progressive, inherited sight loss condition and those challenges can seem overwhelming!

Our group provides a fully inclusive, welcoming space to bring families together, to share experiences; hints; tips; coping strategies, and ideas to help you support your young person.

Knowing that you’re not alone on this journey, having the opportunity to meet and chat with other parents who genuinely understand can make so much difference.

We want to empower you; help you recognise and manage emotions that yourself and your child or young person may be experiencing.

So whether you are also living with the condition or not; our group will provide support and information, providing unique insight and guidance that you may find useful, as well as fostering a community in which members can share information with one another, from their own unique lived experience.

We look forward to seeing you there.
