As restrictions have tightened due to the virus, Co.As.It. has demonstrated creativity and flexibility in the type and delivery of services it’s providing.
A new initiative has been launched called “Wellbeing Checks” designed to ensure social group activity centre clients are regularly contacted and have a chance to talk to staff in their preferred language.
It was during one of these checks that Maria was identified by staff as someone who may experience loneliness and isolation as her usual support mechanisms were closed.
Maria looks forward to the weekly calls in Italian, which always include the question, “When are you going to call me next?”
