The Power of Social Connection: Explore the Evidence-based Impact of Friendly Calls on People, Communities, and the Healthcare System

February 5 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

Session Resources

This session is open to anyone wanting to learn about a nationally accessible social prescription, Red Cross Friendly Calls program

What if we told you, that a meaningful connection was just a phone call away? Join us to learn how the Canadian Red Cross is addressing the devastating impacts of social isolation and loneliness through the Friendly Calls program and how this supports your work within palliative care. A nationally accessible social prescription, Friendly Calls impacts personal wellbeing for patients, caregivers, and volunteers alike; strengthens resilience and capacity within communities; and alleviates pressure on the health care system.

Presenters:

  • Asha Croggon, Director of Friendly Calls program, Canadian Red Cross
  • Doris Sun, BCY Friendly Calls Coordinator
  • Michelle Rajani, BCY Friendly Calls Coordinator
