Seniors' Support Network - For Older Adults with Mental Illness - Victoria

Mental Health - Senior, Services for Seniors, and Social / Recreational

Provided by Island Community Mental Health Association (ICMHA)

An activity-based day program for adults 65 years of age or older who are experiencing mental mental health challenges. The program focuses on decreasing social isolation, peer support, healthy living, and increasing/maintaining independence.
The Seniors’ Support Network focuses on what people can do, not what they can’t do. Clients work together with staff to determine what they want from the program and how staff can support them. Programming is designed to foster interaction between members and with the larger community. These activities promote health, education, physical and mental activity, and fun. The program offers clients a variety of activities designed to increase self-esteem, promote socialization, improve general well-being, and maintain mental health.

Each month clients and staff work together to make a monthly calendar of activities. Types of activities include physical fitness, creative activities, social opportunities, relaxation practices and skill development. Each program day also includes a light meal at a minimal cost per member.

The Senior’s Support Network meets weekly at 125 Skinner Street on Wednesdays from 10:00 am-12:00 pm or 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm (depending on the group). We can assist in arranging transportation through HandyDART or in helping to plan a bus trip. Light refreshments are served.
