Association for the Blind Community Services, or just Mass. Assoc. for the Blind.  However, the groups never included family members. Now, long ago, a minister with low vision and elderly came to visit my church with his wife and to talk with us.  After the service, he and I talked and he had organized what you are thinking of doing:  there was a group of those going through loss of sight and, concurrently, a separate group for family members.  I think that separateness may make group members more comfortable speaking about issues with family members, and the same for the sighted people in a group.
