VOLUNTEER
ENCOURAGE
We have created a Volunteer Program called “Encouragers” to make our residents life better.
As an Encourager Volunteer you will:
- Promote
- Motivate
- Champion
- Support
- Advocate
- Defend
- Cheer
- Energize
All of these words define “Encourage”.
The Encourager volunteer engages the resident in conversations of support while sitting in the living room, around the dining room table, or in the resident’s room.
Being an uplifting and positive Encourager will make a difference, as emotions are supported and spirits are lifted.
Research tells us that encouragement has many health benefits – including decreased risk of depression, an increased sense of purpose, and increased self-confidence.
To learn more about becoming an Encourager and how to get involved, contact Chaplain Ray Coates at (859)447-1121 or at [email protected]
