Subject: Check Out the Upcoming Workshops at Second Sense!

 

Hello,

 

Here are three upcoming workshops hosted by Second Sense that may be of
benefit to you or the people you serve.  These workshops are offered free of
charge at our downtown location at 65 E. Wacker Place, Suite 1010.  

 

1.  New!  "Honey, Can You Please
<http://www.second-sense.org/events/honey-can-you-please/> .?"

 

What is it like to be in a relationship with someone when one person has
vision loss? What are the factors that make it a quality relationship?

 

Questions like these will be explored in our "Honey, Can You Please .?"
workshop at Second Sense.   Our panel of couples who are in an established
relationship will share how they have worked through issues and found common
ground between independence and support.

 

Help us spread the word!  If you know someone who is looking for ways to
improve their relationships or who would like to build a quality
relationship from the start, please tell them about "Honey, Can You Please
.?" on August 21 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm.  To learn more and to register,
contact Polly Abbott <mailto:polly.abbott at second-sense.org>  or call
312-236-8569.

 

 

2.  Monday Afternoon Discussion -- Food and Vision Loss
<http://www.second-sense.org/events/monday-afternoon-discussion-2015-08-24/>


 

Eating habits can be impacted in a number of ways when someone experiences
vision loss.  Perhaps preparing a meal is frustrating or even overwhelming.
Depression may be playing a role in unhealthy eating habits.  We'll be
exploring the relationship between vision loss and food on Monday, August 24
from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.  We invite anyone with vision loss who shares these
concerns to join us.
