Wisdom Behind The Walls
Wisdom Behind The Walls was created to reconnect seniors with family members and the community at-large. Many seniors are lonely and afraid; we felt it was important to bring attention to the suffering of seniors due to isolation (the lack of human contact and socialization).
Effects of isolation include:
- Generally decreased feeling of vitality, less energy and feeling tired more often
- Greater likelihood of mental health illnesses, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.
- More frequent bouts of sickness, such as colds or flu, and longer recovery times
Seniors have a wealth of history, knowledge, fascinating and funny stories to share. This program helps to increase their socialization, gives them a sense of belonging and feeling valued. Additionally, we receive an education that cannot be found in any book. The program is a win-win for everyone!
