Person to Person Program

This program is a confidential peer support service for adults 50+ going through difficult but normal life experiences such as; bereavement, relationship and retirement issues or just feeling lonely. What makes this program special is not just that the callers lives are enriched but the Person to Person volunteer who assists in relieving their loneliness and isolation is also enriched. It is a win-win situation for the caller, the volunteer and for the community. While our volunteers are not professionals they are specially chosen for their empathy and people skills. In addition, they receive 24 hours of initial training and on-going monthly training in psychotherapeutic techniques that help the individual come up with their own ways of resolving issues. A large part of what they do is friendly listening.
