Train your staff on the health benefits of positive touch and discuss how your community can address the lack of positive touch, like hugs, they may be experiencing. Each session is customized to your culture, aspirations and levels of care. Let us bring interesting and enriching content to your next staff event!

Help your community get to know one another and create platonic friendships through activities to support feelings of mutual support and caring. Help elders build kinship by giving options that are tailored for each individual's level of comfort and desire for interaction. First we'll discuss consent and then participants will be guided through a series of activities (all optional) that will serve to create a fun, energized and supportive atmosphere.
