I believe our post-pandemic solutions will have to be #intergenerational and that we need to re-imagine how we live and how we care for each other.

Hey Twitterverse! We've been a little MIA over the last few weeks, but this is because we are working hard to keep our program running despite COVID19 restrictions. This awesome article by @UofT_FIFSW shares how we've been working during the pandemic: socialwork.utoronto.ca/news/…

Programs like ours play a critical role at times like this where older adults are at further risk of #socialisolation. Students offer seniors companionship, help w/ grocery shopping or tasks otherwise unmanageable during a time of #physicaldistancing cc: @aausten1967 @NICElderly

During these unprecedented times, @TOHomeshare is taking the recommended precautions to prevent the spread of #COVID19 very seriously. We continue to receive/process applications but will use virtual technology for interviews #socialdistancing #physicaldistancing #flattenthecurve
