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

[Larry D Keeler]

The only "group therapy used is that which everyone else uses, learn by 
example! Also, teach others by example. In my oppinion, blind folks doing 
things no matter what they are is setting examples. That's why my post last 
night was so long! I'm just an average blind dude with a family. To some, I 
maybe sounded like bragging but the intent was to show you what even us 
aqverage dudes get up to! And, if we don't know how some blind folks do 
something, we usually can find a blind person who has done it! We have blind 
preachers, scientists, lawyers carpenters and just about anything else you 
can imagine anyone else doing a blind person has probably done it!

  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.
