Senior Outreach

Improving quality of life for seniors through peer counseling services in English and Spanish

Peer Counseling for Seniors

Senior Outreach peer counselors help adults ages 50 and up maintain both their independence and a higher quality of life by offering peer counseling one-on-one in their home, or through one of our many peer support groups. We offer help with situational depression, anxiety, bereavements, illness, and family problems at no cost. Services are provided in both English and Spanish.
