After a very successful three-part workshop series last summer, LightHouse is thrilled to be partnering up with our friends at STRIVE4You for a second run of the popular “Your Personal Safety” workshop. This time, LightHouse Orientation & Mobility Specialist Katt Jones will be joined by a panel of safety experts— George Freeman, Amy Wilson, Rich Warner, and Christy Jones—to answer your questions about personal safety and provide you with information, advice, and techniques to ensure your confidence when you are out and about in your community.
This workshop will be a continuation of the series from last year and will be very similar to the last workshop LightHouse held. We will bring back our panel of specialists to answer questions from the community. The program is audio only over Zoom and any techniques mentioned will be described.
Katt Jones gave their thoughts on the continuation of these workshops by LightHouse. “We consistently got excellent feedback after all of last year’s workshops. I knew I wanted to continue the series and bring these experts back to LightHouse! I’m excited to hear how the STRIVE4You Seed program is going and what resources they can share.”
In order to properly prepare for this event, we’d like to hear from you. The event coordinating staff is asking that participants send us questions. Our panel of experts want to make sure everyone’s questions and concerns are addressed as accurately as possible. We want to know what safety issues are on your mind; whether you are asking about specific products you would like to use or techniques you are curious about, this workshop is all about you!
Please send your safety questions to Katt Jones at KJones@lighthouse-sf.org.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, May 31, from 10:00 am to noon via Zoom.
To RSVP to this event, please contact Jaclyne Atoigue at JAtoigue@lighthouse-sf.org. LightHouse and STRIVE4You team are looking forward to helping the blind and low vision community feel safer and more confident!
