In recognition of the range of powerful feelings experienced by parents and the unique circumstances encountered by families when coming to terms with a child’s vision impairment, BLENNZ (Blind and Low vision Education Network NZ) provides support for parents by employing suitably experienced and qualified staff known as Counsellors.
The BLENNZ Counsellors are qualified counsellors who provide specialised counselling, guidance and support to ākonga and whānau receiving BLENNZ services. This can be face to face or phone or online meetings. As well as providing counselling, the counsellors can provide information about other relevant services that might be of help, as well as supporting access to these services.
If you need more information please contact Jillian Applegate who is our Lead Counsellor.
