During #COVID19, we may feel anxious or scared. Do you, or an #olderadult you know, need emotional support or simply someone to talk to? TALK2NICE is a free phone outreach support service connecting #olderadults to #socialworkers. To learn more, give us a call at 1-844-529-7292.

I believe our post-pandemic solutions will have to be #intergenerational and that we need to re-imagine how we live and how we care for each other.

Programs like ours play a critical role at times like this where older adults are at further risk of #socialisolation. Students offer seniors companionship, help w/ grocery shopping or tasks otherwise unmanageable during a time of #physicaldistancing cc: @aausten1967 @NICElderly
