Senior Peer
Counselling is a
FREE one-to-one service provided by trained senior
volunteers who offer emotional support, guidance and
empathy, to at-risk peers troubled by loneliness,
depression, isolation from family and friends, loss of
loved ones, conflict with loved ones and other life changes.
Are you
facing anxiety, frustration, difficulty? Because
of:
-
A new living situation
-
Relocation
-
Retirement changes
-
Reduced income
-
Health & aging concerns
-
Bereavement
WE BELIEVE Seniors prefer
to talk to other seniors who have similar life experiences.

To help seniors develop sense
of self-sufficiency.
