Senior Peer Counseling
How would you like someone to just listen? Someone to brainstorm with? Someone to just bounce things off of? Someone to do some creative problem-solving with? Well, there is someone that will do all of that…. That is a Senior Peer Counselor.
Senior Peer Counselors are trained volunteers who will come to you – in your home for one hour a week to just be with you and support you as you work out whatever concerns you might have. Concerns such as:
- Changes in your life
- Health problems
- Caregiver issues
- Losses
- Family conflicts
This is a free service provided by caring people, all age 55 or older, to anyone in San Luis Obispo County who is age 60 or older. These volunteer counselors receive 60 hours of training and are dedicated to serving our community. They are part of the Senior Peer Counseling Program of the Wilshire Foundation. For information please call Carol Schmidt, Program Director at 547-7025 ext. 15.
