It Only Takes an Hour

Become a volunteer with Peninsula Family Service

Just by volunteering one hour a week…you can make a big difference in the life of an older adult who is depressed, coping with life changes, or suffering from the loss of a loved one.

The Peer Counseling Program at Peninsula Family Service is offering a free training October 11 – November 9 on ZOOM. Our training will teach you to be an active listener, recognize and respond to grief, depression and anxiety, and work with diverse cultures.

If you are 55 years or older and live in San Mateo County, give Peer Counseling a call at 650-403-4300 x 4389. To learn more about the program visit Older Adult Services at www.peninsulafamilyservice.org
