Social Isolation and Loneliness Among Seniors: A Factsheet for Service Providers

social isolation icon"Last year, the City of Vancouver Seniors’ Advisory Committee initiated a special project to investigate the causes and consequences of social isolation and loneliness among seniors in Vancouver, and what the City of Vancouver and other stakeholders can do to help reduce or prevent these problems."

This brochure accompanies the report, and is intended for service providers. It summarizes risk factors, health and social effects, what you can do as a service provider and where you can find some helpful resources.
