1. Intergenerational program
Intergenerational Program is specially being designed for Psychosocial well-being of elderly people living in senior citizen houses or in homes.
It is the program where children, youth, and older adults participate in services and/or programs concurrently at the same site or on the same campus. The elderly people in this program are given the opportunity to interact regularly with young children/youth and work with them for their emotional and mental well-being. This unique program develops and implements individual-based and group-based psychosocial well-being programs for elderly people in senior citizen houses or at homes.
