Family and Caregiver Support Day

As your friend or family member learns to adjust to their vision loss and increase their independence, it is important for you to learn how to encourage and support them. At New Jersey Foundation for the Blind (NJFFB), we believe family and friends play a key role in the rehabilitation and success of our students. In an effort to support you as you care for a family member or friend who is blind or visually impaired, we are inviting you to a complimentary Family Support Day.
