A program helping seniors stay connected in Shelburne just received provincial funding.
A grant of $25,000 was given to the Shelburne County Mental Health & Wellness Association’s Warm Line Program.
It comes from the Age-Friendly Communities Grant Program, and is one of 39 investments across the province by the PC government.
The Warm Line program is a phone line that gives seniors a chance to chat to qualified peer operators.
In a release, Shelburne MLA Nolan Young says connection is crucial for mental health, and it must include more isolated populations such as seniors.
Yesterday, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Barbara Adams announced that 39 projects led by organizations throughout Nova Scotia are receiving grants through the Age-Friendly Communities Grant Program.
