Reaching out to others during #COVID19AB, especially people who may be more isolated, is critical. Thanks for showing your community how #AlbertaCares.

Since the pandemic started, loneliness has increased by 20% to 30%, and emotional distress has more than tripled. statnews.com/2020/08/13/teac…

Children of the @Dawoodi_Bohras of #Calgary brought smiles to residents at @joingenhelp, which works hard to tackle loneliness among older adults. Bohras are taught to respect and love their elders. This is essential during #COVID19 as many seniors are stuck at home. @UN4Ageing
