Social Isolation & Community
Aging can be isolating, especially for those who have lost connections due to transitions or social stigma.
STEP is addressing this need by offering a new community approach to minimizing social isolation and creating meaningful, helpful companionship for Trans Elders.
Brothers Across Generations
Elders and Companions in Community
This innovative program pairs Trans Elders with younger adults ages 21+ (Companions) who are interested in learning from and supporting community elders.
​
Companions may provide support to their assigned Elder (45+) in a number of ways, including checking in regularly, making sure that the Elder has what is needed, and helping to arrange for additional support when needed.
​
Training will be provided.
​
Please let us know if you are interested in learning more about being part of this program - as an Elder or as a Companion.
