Seniors

family
issues

THE CAPILANO | Conununits
Services Society (CCSS) Seniors’
Hub held a discussion on family
issues recently as part of the B.C.
Council for the Family's survey af
seniors,

The discussian was led by
Patricia Bell, president of CCSS,
and Jean Taylor, coordinator of
the Seniors’ Hub. Twenty-one
seniors, ranging trom 60 to 90
years, voiced their opinions on a
nuntber of issues ranging from
drug abuse and youth gangs to the
rights of grandparents and eaplor-
ing the roles and values of fami-
lies today.

“Today's seniors are more in-
dependent,’* says Alice
Hargreaves, executive director of
CCSS. "They prefer to make their
own decisions and choices about
their lifestyles and care. “Howev-
er,’ adds Hargreaves, ‘they con-
tinue to believe strongly thie fami-
ly relationships are extremely im-
Portant lo the structure of our
society."'

Among the key conclusions
reached at the discussion was the
importance of listening to indi-
vidual) family members and
establishing mutual trust and
Fespect. It was also recognized
that, regardless of ave, we can
learn from each other and should
ensure a caring, unconditional
love throughout the family unit.

The goal of the Seniors’ Hub is
to bridge gaps in’ services and
programs for seniors and to en-
courage self-care, independence
and mutual aid. It provides pro-
grams such as Telefriend, a service
where volunteers provide daily re-
assurance calls to isolated seniors,
a driving service to medical and
social appointments, and a mon-
thly social event.

CCSS is a charitable non-profit
organization whose mandate is to
work cooperatively with the
community in’ solving problems
while providing volunteer oppor-
tunities. Anyone interested in the
programs of organization can call
OXS-7TTES.
