You Are Not Alone — Mental Health Support for Older Adults

As we grow older, life can bring unexpected challenges. The loss of a loved one, health concerns, retirement, or other major changes can lead to sadness, loneliness, worry, or stress.

At Homage, our mental health programs help older adults in Snohomish County connect with caring professionals who understand the unique challenges that come with aging.

Services are based on your individual needs, and there are no income requirements to receive help.

Senior Peer Support Program

The Senior Peer Support Program connects older adults with trained volunteer peer counselors who provide encouragement, understanding, and regular social connection. Speaking with someone who has experienced similar life transitions can help reduce feelings of loneliness, stress, and sadness.

Volunteers provide weekly in-person or phone visits to older adults in Snohomish County who may be experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, health changes, caregiving stress, or other life challenges. The program focuses on building connection, offering emotional support, and helping older adults cope with difficult transitions.

All services are confidential and provided at no cost.

How the Program Works

• Participants are matched with a trained volunteer age 55+
• Peer counselors connect weekly in person or phone visits
• Visits focus on conversation, support, and coping with life changes
• Volunteers receive training, supervision, and ongoing support from Homage staff

Peer support is not therapy, but many participants find that regular connection with a caring peer improves their well-being and sense of community.

Volunteer as a Senior Peer Counselor

This program depends on caring volunteers age 55 and older who want to support other older adults in Snohomish County.

No experience is necessary. Training and ongoing support are provided. Volunteering is a meaningful way to give back, build connections, and make a difference in someone’s life. To apply to become a Senior Peer Counselor, please complete the volunteer application
