OLD PAGE Hot Topics, Support Groups & Book Club
Adults and seniors who are visually impaired and blind are invited to attend our Group and Hot Topic activities which are designed to help maintain and increase independence and reduce the isolation many people experience because of vision impairment. These activities are provided at no-cost to past and present clients and their families; they are also available to other adults and seniors who are visually impaired and blind living in Pasco, Hernando, and Citrus Counties.

Program Notes

- Most Hot Topics last for about an hour but support groups almost always go over an hour.

- We host a Friends and Family Support Group on the 3rd Saturday of each month. This support group is designed for friends and family members of our clients who want to learn about how to better assist their loved ones and the challenges of loving someone who is blind or visually impaired. If there is enough interest, we will alternate between the Pasco and Brooksville locations. Call the Brooksville Lighthouse to RSVP for the Friends and Family Support Group.
