A charity in Bognor is preparing to support Mental Health Awareness Week in mid-May.
4Sight Vision Support says it will highlight the type of help it can provide for people with sight loss.
The charity says loss of vision can have a devastating impact not only physically, but mentally, triggering anxiety and concerns about independence.
A spokesperson for 4Sight says "Everyone reacts differently to a new sight loss diagnosis – feelings of shock, denial, anger, fear, sadness, depression and loss, or a combination of these feelings are natural, with worries and upset about how to cope about the changes you are facing. 4SVS can provide emotional support during this period of adjustment, its holistic one to one approach will help explore and understand the most common feelings to help cope with sight loss. In addition, it can provide practical support, advising on accessible technology, education, employment, obtaining financial assistance, social activities, peer support and more."
