What We Do
Home-bound seniors can feel isolated, lonely and in need of a little extra support. Positive Solutions provides outreach and mental health prevention and intervention to home-bound individuals (60+) who are at risk of becoming depressed or are showing signs of minor depression. Trained and compassionate staff help clients recognize symptoms, identify possible causes of depression and teach proven ways to cope. This is achieved through short-term psychoeducation, the evidence-based PEARLS (Program to Encourage Active and Rewarding Lives for Seniors) model, and other brief interventions. Our goal is to reduce feelings of isolation, and increase the individual’s social support system and overall self-sufficiency.
Who We Serve
Services are available for individuals ages 60+ from all cultural backgrounds in all regions of the County.
