Senior Connect Tri-Region

Help a senior on your block

Register for SeniorConnect Tri-Region, a free online training program that teaches participants about how to provide support and connect with their aging neighbours.

This is an excellent opportunity for us to work together to help seniors in our community find local information, resources and support.

It is made up of six online training modules that will each take between 15 and 40 minutes to complete.

Module topics include:

• Why connecting with seniors is important
• Caregiver burnout
• Mental illness (dementia, delirium and depression)
• Elder abuse
• Addictions
• Diversity

During these challenging times it is important to find ways to be good neighbours to one another and look for opportunities to provide assistance and support to seniors where you can and when it is safe to do so. You may consider the following services, for example, that don't involve physical contact:

• Delivering groceries or medical supplies
• Shoveling the walk
• A friendly chat on the phone
