Building Senior Communications

Building Senior Communications

Why would creating a program for older adults be important to our communities? By allocating the resources that would improve their interactions with their families, friends, and healthcare providers. This will give our older adults a sense of independence. 

The Be Encouraged Foundation and its supporting efforts with our Building Senior Communications Program has assisted in helping our older adults through our partnership with the City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation. The program provides technological support to the older adults that participated in our bridge-building program at the Healthy Active Living Centers. Through our program, we have been able to help older adults find comfort and knowledge in their use of technical devices. We are committed to improving older adults application of technology to increase their ability to communicate with their wider community using the normalized methods today. We’ve found that one-on-one guidance allows older adults to comfortably navigate their devices and build autonomy in handling their bills and/or schedules through online systems.
