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

[Ray Foret Jr]

Hey, try calling it a siminar.  Back when I was a student at the Louisiana center for the blind, that's what we called it.


Sincerely,
the Constantly Barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac and iphone user!

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?
