What is Peer Support?
Peer Support is person to person, non-professional help of listening to older adults that are struggling with aging issues and/or grief and loss. The peer counselor is matched with an older adult that has experienced similar life circumstances.
- Trained volunteers make weekly home visits to provide
a listening ear, support and encouragement for
positive change.
- Our friendly counselors can also help with connections
to other community programs and services.
- Free, confidential and locally supported.
