7 Proceeds from our 15th Annual Crime Prevention Guide project have allowed the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers to make a $5,000 donation to the Friendly Calls Program to support Elder Abuse Awareness to help educate the public in recognizing the signs and behaviors of adults that may be at risk. The Canadian Red Cross Friendly Calls program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them regularly to provide emotional support, encourage healthy coping strategies, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services, like yours. The Friendly Calls program is safe, accessible and free. Friendly Calls is for everyone, with a focus on reaching older adults, Indigenous peoples, frontline workers, parents, caregivers and other people who may benefit from increased access to regular emotional support and social interaction. Friendly Calls are designed to support people to develop resilience, overcome life’s challenges, continue independence and build a stronger, more connected community. Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers SFPO President Casey Ward presents a $5,000 donation to Shawna Green for the Red Cross Friendly Calls Program.
