Supporting the Emotional Well-being of Children and Young People with a Vision Impairment

It is not uncommon for children and young people to feel overwhelmed at times and in need of emotional support, but there is evidence to show that those with a vision impairment are more likely to experience this more often. Children and young people with VI are statistically more likely to experience depression, isolation and unhappiness.  NCW use a trauma informed approach to support the students’ wellbeing within the context of VI. This session will offer some ideas, tips and lessons learnt from supporting students at NCW.
