Telefriend Peer Support
Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation with someone who understands what it’s like to navigate life with vision loss. Whether you’re seeking guidance or simply looking for a friendly chat, we’re here for you.
Telefriend is an empathetic, non-judgmental, and confidential peer support service. It’s designed for individuals who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision, as well as their caregivers, family, and friends.
