RNIB's Service Supporting Mental Health In Lockdown

Many blind and partially sighted people have faced anxiety, sadness and, even, fear about the unique challenges they have experienced since the pandemic reached the UK in March.

In light of this, RNIB's Sight Loss Advice Service has worked with Mind, the mental health charity, to offer free emergency mental health sessions over the phone by BACP-registered counsellors with sight loss experience, to give emotional support during these difficult times.

Speaking about RNIB's Emergency Mental Health Sessions is the charity's Specialist Lead for Counselling and Wellbeing, Amanda Hawkins. 

And remember, if you need someone who understands sight loss, RNIB are here for you. Simply call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or alternatively email: helpline@rnib.org.uk.
