Eye Connect is a project designed to connect
vision impaired children and
young people and give them a voice in their community. The project ensures that: children, young people and families have the support they need to feel more confident and thrive emotionally; youth organisations across Wales are equipped to welcome and include vision impaired children and young people in their settings; children and young people can make lasting connections with each other and build a sense of community; children and young people will have a stronger voice in their community and be able to influence change.
Local Minds support over 370,000 people across England and Wales. Their services include talking therapies, crisis
helplines, drop-in centres, employment and
training schemes, counselling and
befriending. Each local Mind is an independent charity run by local people, for local people. They are responsible for their own funding and services. Mind Cymru works together in partnership with Local Minds.
We understand the significant impact that living with a
vision impairment can have upon an individual's wellbeing. The Vision Support counselling Service provides counselling support over the phone to provide emotional support when you need it. Talking therapy can provide a safe non-judgemental space to talk and can incorporate coping strategies to overall improve well-being.
