Although it's been less than three weeks since we launched our national campaign, in partnership with AARP Foundation, to raise awareness of the growing problem of social isolation and loneliness in older adults, the response has been outstanding!
To date, over 130 Area Agencies on Aging and other aging organizations have contacted us to learn how they can help or to suggest innovative ways to spread the word.
To facilitate your involvement in the campaign, we developed a campaign brochure and a toolkit that will provide you with the information and resources you will need to educate the public about this serious issue. We are already in our second printing of the brochure “Expand Your Circles: Prevent Isolation and Loneliness As You Age,” so order your copies while supplies last!
Find out what AAAs are doing to support the campaign by joining our webinar on Thursday, December 8 at 2 p.m. ET. This will be a very interactive session, so bring your ideas and questions!
Please contact n4a Communications Director Dallas Jamison at 202.872.0888 or djamison@n4a.org to learn how you can join the campaign.
