FOR
INFORMATION ON RECEIVING SERVICES
Senior Peer Counselors provide an opportunity for individuals to
be heard in an attentive, compassionate, and empathic way. This
kind of support and non-judgmental encouragement from a peer can
enable someone to develop the coping skills to effectively deal
with emotionally stressful situations. Some individuals believe
they should be able to solve their problems on their own with no
outside support. Seeking help is often perceived as a sign of personal
weakness. However, when individuals have a chance to meet with someone
their own age who has had to cope with similar issues, discussion
about personal feelings are easier. Counselors meet with clients
for one hour each week in the client’s home. There is no time
or topic limit. All conversations with the Counselors are confidential.For
