03 X 33 The Blind Perspective 36: Is Safety a Concern for the Blind
Being blind or visually impaired seems to be an exercise in smart dependance. Whether you use a GPS device, a guidedog or a cane, at some point in your life, you will depend on another person for help, and that assistance, comes whether you want it or not. \n\nOn this episode of the blind perspective, we discuss the safety of dependance and how to mitigate getting injured by such dependance, whether it\u2019s freely requested and given or simply just given without request.\n\nIs a blind person supposed to be looking for help at every turn, or should you choose wisely, lest you be scammed by every person you request help from.\n\nAlso joining our panel this week, A women Victor has interviewed on Meet Me, when she was just beginning her position at STRIVE4YOU Self-Defense Project.
