Many young adults and senior adults face isolation and lack of support systems, which can lead to mental health issues and decreased quality of life. By pairing these two groups together, we can create a mutually beneficial support network that fosters companionship, learning, and emotional well-being. Studies show that intergenerational programs can significantly reduce loneliness and improve life satisfaction for both age groups (source: AARP). Signing this petition will help us advocate to Gov. Cooper that a new program combining the two groups is worth looking into. Sign this petition to advocate for the implementation of intergenerational support programs in our communities!
