Joy through social connection
- Puzzle/Games Volunteer, HammondCare Riverglen Provide social opportunities for our older patients in the Older Persons' Mental Health unit at North Ryde. As a volunteer, you will offer friendly conversation and find ways of connecting through playing games, doing puzzles, colouring in, or other activities. Or perhaps it will be your skills as a valuable listener that promote a connection with the patients. As a volunteer you will be empathic and find ways to facilitate relaxed social engagement with the patients. This role is all about kindness, presence, and the power of social connection. Your impact Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
