"The National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) is a national leader in research that focuses on improving the quality of life and health of older people. We are looking for volunteers to help deliver a befriending service to older people living in residential aged care. Befriending involves having a conversation with a person about everyday topics and events in a friendly way without discussing health problems or emotions. We want to know whether undertaking befriending with older people living in residential aged care helps reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and decreases their loneliness" LOCATIONS AS at 5/08/2022 We have many active facilities around Victoria: Trafalgar Cowes, Philip Island Heidelberg Camberwell Oakleigh Ashburton Wantirna MillPark St Helena Boxhill
