A message from our friends at Southern Arizona Senior Pride...
We are very concerned about reaching people who do not have a computer. If you know someone who does not have or use a computer please call them and let them know Senior Pride is available to give support. We are reaching out to all of you with concern about the risk of isolation during this time of crisis. Self-care at this time means isolating ourselves from friends, family and social gatherings. Senior Pride wants to offer support and suggestions to interrupt isolation. It is crucial that we take care of our mental health as well as our physical health. Those of us that live alone may need extra love and all of us will need to stay close to our support circles.
- Make a deliberate plan with friends, family, family of choice for telephone visits. If possible use. Skype will work too.
- Set-up a once daily check-in/wellness call from someone, for yourself.
- Arrange an on-going plan by setting up “phone dates.”
- E-mail and text are also ways to visit, check-in, encourage, support and entertain each other. (Forward you-tube posts, interesting articles, music, movies etc.)
- Avoid reading or watching reports about the corona virus all day long. Give yourself a limited time to get the latest update then choose to read, watch a movie, garden, write, play games, sing a song, talk on the phone, meditate, listen to music, take a bath, be creative, use your imagination!
- We may not be going any place, but remember a walk or a drive to look at wildflowers or to let the desert calm you could be a good option.
- If you are getting too worried, anxious, depressed or hopeless call someone who can give you hope, peace and care.
Senior Pride will also be there for you. Let us know if you want calls, emails, texts. Let us know if you need someone to shop for food or pick up meds and drop off items at your door (people at less risk have offered to help).
Call: 520-312-8923 or email:
and we will respond.
Please include your phone number, e-mail, best time to reach you, and what you would like.
In addition, Equality Arizona and several Tucson community organizations have set up resources for LGBTQI+ people who are staying at home and may need assistance.
