About Posiden’ki
The challenges of loneliness and social isolation are profound for Ukrainian newcomers 60+ who arrived in Canada due to the war in Ukraine. The difficulties are magnified as they navigate a new country where they may not know many people, face language barriers, and find themselves alone when younger family members are at school or at work. This isolation can intensify, leaving elderly relatives predominantly at home and further disconnected. We recognize the unique struggles faced by these individuals and aim to provide meaningful solutions that foster connection, community, and a sense of belonging.
Our program is designed with a purpose — to enhance the lives of Ukrainian newcomers, ladies aged 60 and above, whether newcomers or those that have been part of the Canadian community for some time.
Our mission is to combat loneliness and social isolation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance the memory and cognitive abilities of our participants. This not only promotes a healthier mental state, but also serves as a preventive measure against early cognitive decline and conditions such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
We’ll do it with carefully crafted, fun and scientifically-backed activities delivered in Russian and Ukrainian, the group’s native languages. Join us on this journey towards well-being, connection, and the empowerment that comes with a sharper mind and improved memory.
