Welcome to the Glaucoma Support Network
It all began with an idea
Greetings, and thank you for visiting the Glaucoma Support Network!
I'm Nicole, the founder of this community, and I'd like to share with you the story behind the creation of this wellness space for individuals living with glaucoma.
My journey with glaucoma began many years ago when I was diagnosed with this condition. Like many of you, I was initially filled with uncertainty, fear, and a multitude of questions. How would this diagnosis affect my daily life? What does the future hold for me? Where could I find guidance and understanding from those who have faced similar challenges?
As I embarked on my own glaucoma journey, I quickly realized that there was a gap in the support and wellness resources available for people like us. While there was a wealth of medical information, there was a lack of wellness options, personal connection and emotional support that is often vital when dealing with a life-altering condition.
Through my own experiences, I discovered the importance of wellbeing, community and understanding. The encouragement, advice, and shared experiences of others who had walked a similar path became invaluable. It was these connections that inspired me to create the Glaucoma Support Network.
Our mission is simple yet profound:
to provide a wellness space where individuals living with glaucoma can find support, share their stories, and gain the knowledge and strength needed to navigate their journey. We believe in the power of community and the idea that together, we can thrive and lead fulfilling lives despite the challenges glaucoma presents.
In addition to fostering this sense of community and support, we're proud to introduce a unique feature at the Glaucoma Support Network: LIVE and on-demand virtual wellness classes tailored specifically for those living with glaucoma. These classes are designed to address the unique needs and challenges that glaucoma can bring into our lives.
Our virtual wellness classes offer you the opportunity to: Enhance Your Well-being:
Join sessions that focus on mindfulness, stress management, and exercises tailored to support your eye health and overall wellness.
Learn Practical Techniques: Discover strategies and techniques that can help you better manage daily activities, from cooking to mobility, and enhance your independence.
Connect and Interact: Engage with instructors and fellow participants in an inclusive and accessible virtual environment. Share your experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges.
Empower Yourself: Gain the confidence and knowledge to take an active role in your health and well-being, all while building connections with those who understand your journey.
We invite you to explore our website, resource page, join our facebook community, and participate in our virtual wellness classes. Together, we are creating a space where hope, knowledge, and support thrive, and where living with glaucoma is not a limitation, but an opportunity to grow and thrive.
Thank you for being a part of the Glaucoma Support Network, and for making this space a beacon of hope, connection, and empowerment for all of us living with glaucoma. Your journey is our journey, and we're in this together.
With gratitude and warm regards,
~ Nicole
