Services
Counseling and Social Services help clients and their families cope with the special problems that accompany loss of sight. Social workers experienced in the area of vision loss visit clients in their homes, assess their need for services from the Center, and can put them in touch with other community resources.
Vista Center offers several monthly support groups facilitated by professional counseling staff. Clients discuss strategies for managing sight loss, exchange information about resources, and discuss the feelings that often accompany loss of sight. Clients in support groups are more likely to resume activities and accept other rehabilitation services.
The Health Library at Vista Center is an affiliated branch of Stanford Health Library, established in honor of Frances C. Arrillaga for people with vision loss and those who want to know more about it. The Health Library is designed to help address the needs of individuals with vision loss.
