ATSU-SOMA

We invite participants to write and send a caring letter to an elder in need through the non-profit organization, Love for Our Elders (loveforourelders.org/letters).
Research has linked social isolation and loneliness to higher risks for a variety of physical and mental health conditions including heart disease, depression, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. Their mission is to alleviate social isolation among older adults through handwritten letters and intergenerational connections.

Time: Anytime!
Location: Anywhere!
