[nfb-talk] If it's not group therapy then what is it called? and other ideas

[Gerardo Corripio]

  Especially thanks to Barefoot Ray, but also any other chime-ins 
welcome, Beginning to feel the fruits of my enrichment thanks to your 
feedback! From what I've heard, in NFB blindness centers, there are 
classes where the group gets together and talk about NFB philosofy, how 
it impacts lives etc., thus I always understood/thought of it as group 
therapy, thus what's the name for these group talks then? That's kind of 
what I wanted to propose in the local Association. Maybe the use of 
Group Therapy as a name scares people, thus giving it a different name 
might help to if I ever get a chance to propose ideas for another 
blindness association, get the people more interested?
Also am wondering do you guys in the NFB go to hospitals and give the 
staff your names, so when a patient gets diagnosed with blindness be 
from an accident, ailment, etc.,, the nurse, social worker or other 
staff, say to the patient's family "look here is the name of so and so 
whom would be pleased to talk to you), or maybe you guys get a call from 
the hospital saying look so and so just was blinded and we'd appreciate 
you going to see him or her? thus the question how do you guys get 
around so the hospitals and others, know of your willingness to serve as 
role models for recently blind? My folks say that they'd really 
benefited a lot when I was diagnosed at 8 months Retinopathy of 
Prematurity, to have a positive blind role model around, thus some of my 
ideas derive as you can see, from what my parents lived through, thus 
i'd like to think they're not crazy ideas?
Thanks for feedback.
