You will be trained to:
• recognize possible issues vulnerable people may have and support them in getting the help they may need to Iive fuller lives
• Be an effective advocate for vulnerable seniors, as well as people with illnesses or disabilities.
• Work with us to provide visits and support to those in your area.
