We joined our partners at HelpAge USA as they celebrated their DC grandparents and the one-year anniversary of their first Friendship Bench for Mental Health and the Friendship Bench DC program! These amazing Friendship Benches, led by adults aged 60+ in Washington, DC are a powerful movement promoting mental health through peer-to-peer and intergenerational conversations and interventions. Their goal is to provide accessible mental health support to community members of all ages, guided by the wisdom and care of trusted older adults. We were thrilled to meet the HelpAge USA team and these inspiring grandparents making a real difference in our community. #olderadults #WashingtonDc #HelpAge #FriendshipBench #GrandparentsDay #FriendshipBenchZimbabwe #mentalhealthawareness
Thank you so much to Crystal Townsend, MPA and Patricia Ndimantang from The Washington Home for joining us last night! We could not be more grateful for your support of Friendship Bench DC. It has made all the difference.
