Many studies, conducted around the world, have identified the significant value and importance of connecting youth with seniors. When they serve each other, the lives of the seniors and the youth are greatly enhanced and contribute to overcoming many of the challenges these two groups commonly face, including loneliness, isolation, depression, and suicide. Through serving each other their feelings of self worth and their happiness are increased. Through the act of giving back to the other, both the older adult and the young person are enriched. This was the motivating force behind the development of the non-profit organization Seniors4Seniors. Founder and CEO, Eric Peterson joins me, along with Dr. Jason Powell, Senior Vice President to discuss this unique and innovative program that is bringing meaning to the life of those who participate. We will discuss ways your community can develop such a program that provides mentorship to our youth and offers purpose, meaning and companionship to our seniors.
