Generation Connect Zoom learning session: Communication skills with the elderly

Description: Join us for an engaging online learning session focused on Communication Skills with the Elderly. With nearly 70% of Hong Kong’s elderly population experiencing feelings of loneliness, effective communication is more crucial than ever. Our session aims to equip you with the skills necessary to connect meaningfully with seniors, fostering relationships that can alleviate their isolation. What You Will Learn Participants will explore: Effective Communication Techniques: Understand how to engage with elderly individuals, particularly those facing cognitive or sensory challenges. Building Trusting Relationships: Learn strategies to create a supportive environment that encourages open dialogue. Navigating Difficult Conversations: Gain insights into managing sensitive topics and behaviours with empathy and respect. Why This Matters With over 152,000 seniors living alone in our vibrant city, the need for compassionate communication is urgent. Studies have shown that social isolation significantly impacts the mental health of the elderly, making it essential for community members to step in and provide support. How You Can Help By participating in this session, you will not only enhance your communication skills but also become part of a larger effort to support our vulnerable elderly community. Whether you are a caregiver, a volunteer, or simply someone interested in making a difference, your involvement is vital. We invite you to join our Generation CONNECT initiative and be a voice for the elderly in Hong Kong. Together, we can create a more connected and caring community. Register now to secure your spot and take the first step towards making a meaningful impact in the lives of our seniors! Remarks: A Zoom meeting link will be emailed to registered volunteers a day before the activity.
