Caring Committee: Senior Peer Counseling
|
|
Just by volunteering one hour a week, you can make a positive difference in the life of an older adult who is depressed, coping with life changes or suffering the loss of a loved one.
The
Caring Committee is partnering with
Senior Peer Counseling at
Peninsula Family Service to provide PTBE’s older adult members with expanded support within the congregation. Volunteers will receive FREE specialized training with geriatric professionals to learn how to recognize and respond to isolation, grief, depression, and anxiety in older adults, and to identify local resources for support. Volunteers are paired up with an older adult peer who has similar life experiences and perspectives to provide confidential support.
There will be a free training available to PTBE members from
October 16 through November 9, four Wednesdays from 6-9 p.m. and four Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. in San Mateo. Our Caring Committee’s
Lolli Freedman (Visiting Chair) and
Pam Brandman (Bereavement Chair),
as well as temple
members
Susan Bardet and
Mark Schlager have all been volunteering as senior peer counselors in the community.
Judy Winkelstein is a clinical supervisor for the program.
If you would like an application form to start the process and/or ask questions, please contact Michele Epstein at Peninsula Family Service 650-403-4300, ext. 4371, or email her at
mepstein@peninsulafamilyservice.org.
We hope you will join us to expand the good work that we do with the Caring Committee.
