The Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens St. John XXIII Senior Services provides seniors and their families with ready access to the full array of senior services offered by the Diocese of Brooklyn. We assist seniors in preserving their independence, in continuing to enjoy a fruitful life experience, and in accessing in a timely fashion the spiritual and physical supports that are needed. All Senior programs are funded by the New York City Department for the Aging
Through our Depression and Alcohol Abuse Program, we provide awareness of depression, substance abuse screening and referrals for senior citizens in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. The program provides counseling and linkage to mental health services, healthcare, senior centers, and when appropriate, assistance with other entitlements. These activities create opportunities to assist the elderly population with intervention, assessments, screenings and referrals for mental health, as well as other concrete services and entitlements.
This program matches volunteers with homebound elderly in the communities of Southwest Queens. Volunteers can be of any age. If you are interested in receiving friendly visits once a week or in volunteering to visit, please contact Stephanie Mitchell at 718-217-0126 or stephanie.mitchell@ccbq.org.
