Chai Chat: What is our Responsibility? Exploring Risks and Solutions for Social Isolation among our Elders

On Monday November 23rd Amirah Nelson will lead a discussion based on pages 2-26 of the article “Framework for Isolation in
Adults Over 50”.

This topic is timely considering that the COVID-19 Crisis has accentuated and broadened the problem of social isolation in older adults.

Join us to discuss:

• the research presented in the article to help us better identify people who are at risk for social isolation and why

• how Islam speaks about elders

• how religiously oriented communities can creatively address some of the issues around social isolation at the interpersonal level

• what we can do to address the infrastructural issues that contribute to some of those risks
