We offer one-on-one peer counseling for those who are struggling. It starts with listening to your story, and helping contextualize your experience. Then we proceed to help identify and prioritize current needs, provide practical help and advice and steer you to the best resources we can find - whether your needs relate more to navigating medical care, strategies to see more comfortably for your daily activities, financial challenges, emotional support or guidance on communicating and advocating for yourself effectively. Where desired, we also work to match you up with a dry eye buddy, or a Zoom support group.
Helpline calls are typically an occasional or even one-time need, but where needed, they may be a biweekly or monthly weekly call for awhile, which allows us to check in, be a listening ear, make sure you have support, and see if there are any more ways to help.
