April 2008: We invite you to complete our brief on-line survey if you or your organization provides services to support older adults. The survey is the first stage of Project "SLICE", a new initiative funded by United Way. "SLICE": Seniors Leading Interactive Community Education (for New Westminster).

More information about SLICE: to establish, train, and support a pool of Peer Support Senior Specialists willing to teach others about the impact of drug and alcohol substance misuse/abuse and its relationship to social isolation. These seniors would inform and engage the community by sharing their knowledge, present successes, and disseminate non-judgmental information thereby reducing stereotypes about seniors with similar life challenges.

Thank you for your participation!
