This infographic is intended for anyone who has questions about what to do in the event of detecting a case of unwanted loneliness in aged people. Social workers from health centres and our technical team and coordinators will assist you in improving the social reality of the elderly person.
Integrating technology into the lives of the elderly should prioritize user-friendly interfaces, accessibility, and ongoing support. This approach ensures that modern technology serves as a valuable tool in enhancing the independence, safety, and overall quality of life for the elderly population.
In this email addressed to volunteers and coordinators, we complement one of the in-person training sessions conducted this year, which focused on non-verbal communication with elderly people. This time is an online training on "Social Skills in the Helping Relationship." A downloadable PDF is attached.
Dealing with the emotional needs of elderly individuals, especially those who may be lonely, facing health issues, or experiencing grief, can be emotionally stressful. Volunteers should be prepared for emotional conversations and should have access to support or debriefing sessions. One of the common stressful situations is anger outbursts.
