Decreasing Social Isolation
At GetSetUp, our Social Connectedness Program is designed to enhance the social inclusion and volunteerism of older adults. Recognizing the importance of social interaction and community engagement for overall well-being, our program provides a range of classes and activities that help older adults stay connected, active, and involved in their communities. We particularly focus on priority populations, including those who live alone, in rural areas, or with low income, as well as immigrants and refugees.
