I worked as a Community Mental Health Nurse who supported with Seniors. I studied a program that paired young chlidren with elderly people living in a facility.It was a total immersion for the children who went to school at the facility for four months of the year. Writing my Master´s Thesis was a delightful experience, as I immersed myself in the world through the eyes of the children as well as from the Seniors perspective. The findings were positive and I believe the experience was far reaching for everyone involved.I became intrigued with a program that introduced young children to elderly people.The benefits for both parties were overwhelmingly positive.Any planned program that focuses on the communication between generations will strengthen the tapestry of our lives.
