Brochures and Factsheets
This document is part of a toolkit developed by the Saskatoon Council on Aging during their project Building Respectful, Inclusive Communities (BRIC). BRIC led to the creation of a guide on senior-to-senior bullying and of a Train-the-trainer program through which older adult volunteers hold presentations for other older adults living in congregate housing. The project also offers ongoing support to the older adults trained to give presentations.
