[NFBNJ] NFB-Seniors 2024 Virtual Senior Retreat

[NFB New Jersey]

2024 Virtual Senior Retreat



February 11th through 17th, 2024

Anywhere and Everywhere



This virtual retreat focuses on promoting a sense of wellbeing
and self-confidence despite living with newly acquired vision loss,
and/or lifelong blindness. Our collective experience has taught us that
learning about blindness from competent blind people, while sharing the
camaraderie of fellow retreat members, strengthens personal growth and
guides seniors to advocate for themselves. Participants can look forward to
receiving training in basic skills in adaptive techniques, development of
new strategies for solving problems, an introduction to valuable resources,
all to be better able to determine for themselves, what steps they can take
to Live The Life They Want. We cannot overstate the positive impact an
individual will experience as a member of a group of seniors, working
together, sharing life-changing activities in a retreat of this nature;
just ask one of our recent graduates!
