Dear Community Referral Partner,
Volunteer Lethbridge Keep in Touch (KIT) was developed to provide the social infrastructure to support the mental health and overall well-being of seniors. It aims to provide emotional support, reduce isolation and loneliness while helping to build their confidence. KIT connects program participants with certified volunteers who, through a weekly telephone support system, take the time to talk and listen. Human connection, support and empathy are at the core of the program, and that is why we do what we do.
We are excited to announce that the Volunteer Lethbridge Keep in Touch program is in transition and will moving to the Lethbridge Seniors Citizens Organization effective June 1st, 2022! The Volunteer Lethbridge Keep in Touch program has been very successful thanks to the commitment of all the staff at Volunteer Lethbridge.
As part of this transition, Keep in Touch will now be referred to as LSCO Community Connect. We look forward to having our senior participants and dedicated volunteers move to LSCO with us and to continue the great work and dedication. The Lethbridge Seniors Citizens Organization offers many programs and support services to seniors in our community. With the addition of the Community Connect program to LSCO’s extensive array of programs, wrap around social services will be available to the participants of the program ensuring they have access to a wide array of support.
For those of you who do not have computer access when serving your senior clients, please feel free to contact us directly to make a referral at 403-329-1544.
KIT offers a precious moment of connection that makes a dark and dreary world perspective a little lighter and a little brighter. No one should have to feel alone, and no one should feel unheard. Help us connect you to someone who will take
the time to listen.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can do to provide you with the additional information and thank you for all that you do to help improve the lives of seniors!
Sincerely,
Senior System Navigator Team
Intake & Program Coordinator
