Try the America foundation for thhe blind and their career connect page.
I'm sure that anyone on this list in the profession would help you, but that
is also a good place to possibly find a mentor.

Subject: [humanser] Newly Employed in Human Services Question

Dear List Members,

I shared a couple of times on this list before, but I am not sure if I
provided a formal introduction. My name is Osmond and I graduated with my
MSW last May with a concentration in mental health. My internships were in
community day programs, my first year with the developmentally disabled
population and my second year with the severe and persistently mentally ill
population. I was unable to find a job for ten months but just accepted a
limited term position doing pre-vocational preparation for young adults with
disabilities. I start next Monday. This is actually my first paid job. I'm
31 and never thought that I would have a job that pays. I've done a ton of
volunteer work and have had several unpaid internships. I think right now
what would be really helpful is to have a mentor who is also blind and in
the helping professions. Does anyone know of such a program where
experienced blind professionals mentor those who are both blind and new to
the field?

Thanks,
Osmond
