​Post‑16 Connecting Families: Supporting Social Independence in Young People

​Parents and carers of post‑16 young people – join us for an online session exploring social independence and peer relationships.

​This session will explore ways to support young people with vision impairment to build healthy relationships, navigate social situations confidently, and make informed decisions while maintaining their safety and wellbeing.

​We'll discuss practical strategies for supporting independence, understanding boundaries, and helping young people develop the skills and confidence to manage social situations both online and offline.

​What we'll cover:

• ​Understanding healthy relationships, friendships, and personal boundaries

• ​Supporting young people to stay safe in social settings and online

• ​Encouraging confidence, decision‑making, and healthy choices as independence grows

​What to expect:

• ​Practical guidance to support your young person's social independence and wellbeing

• ​Opportunities to share experiences and learn from other families

• ​A supportive space to ask questions

​This session will take place online, and we’ll send you the Zoom details once you’ve registered for the event.
