Empowering people to build real connections that transform health and life outcomes. Join us. 🌟 Our vision. Connecting generations changes lives and communities.

Our vision is a healthy community that is connected across generations. We're working to end loneliness and ageism through intergenerational programs and events. More than 60% of Americans are lonely. That's 200 million people. And in Connecticut alone, that's 2.1 million people. Those same people lack the opportunity for meaningful in-person social interactions on a regular basis. Our communities have become segregated by age over the past 50 years, which has resulted in an increase in isolation and loneliness among older adults. And young adults are now feeling more lonely than older adults. Reuniting the generations improves the health and well-being of individuals of all ages and increases community cohesion. And it changes perceptions of aging. We invite you to join us on our journey to connect the generations and inspire action to end loneliness and ageism. Follow our facebook and Instagram pages, volunteer with us, and/or donate to help our mission. See www.forallages.org for more information.

What does it look like to intentionally build community in a place you’ve only recently begun to call home?

We’re excited to introduce you to Tony Bacigalupo, the CT Collaborative to End Loneliness' first Community Connector, who shares his honest, thoughtful journey of fostering connection and community in Norwalk in a new blog series.

Just two days until Christmas, and our hearts are full. ❤️🎄✨

Comfort & Joy Holiday Cards are finding their way into the hands of older adults and veterans, delivered with care by volunteers like Caroline and made with love by YOU - our extraordinary Comfort & Joy card makers.

Received with smiles, tears, and deep appreciation, this is what community looks like when people choose kindness and center connection.

Happy holidays, everyone! 🌟

🌟 This fall, University of Saint Joseph Physician Assistant clinical students brought The Good Life series to The McAuley, engaging residents in meaningful conversation and connection. Last week, the series wrapped up, leaving smiles and lasting impact on everyone involved.

Deb Bibbins was proud to serve as an advisor, supporting the students as they explored how connection and community enhance health and well-being.

We believe it is essential for future clinicians to include the principles of social health when they see patients. These students are helping to set that standard. 💛

Today, we are giving a shout-out to two incredible Community Champions who helped expand the reach of the Comfort & Joy Card Drive: Quinnipiac University student Genesis Camejo and Simsbury resident Brecon Morgan. Throughout the fall, they worked behind the scenes to grow card-making partnerships and delivery locations, making it possible to reach even more neighbors. ✨

Thank you, Genesis and Brecon, for helping spread comfort and joy to some of our most vulnerable neighbors. ✌

From your hands to their hearts - holiday cards are brightening our neighbors’ season! 💛

Thanks to your generosity, our volunteers have delivered thousands of cards across Bristol, Farmington, Simsbury, Granby, West Hartford, Wallingford, New Britain, and Rocky Hill - with more on the way.

Each card is a small act of care, a reminder that someone is being thought of this season.

Thank you for making the holidays brighter for so many. 🫶

Over the past few days, our amazing volunteers dedicated more than 46 hours to carefully reading and sorting the more than 4,000 holiday cards created by YOU!

We have to say - y’all rocked it! 🎉

Each card is filled with care, warmth, and connection - and this week, they’re being delivered to our neighbors across Connecticut.

Thank you for giving your time and heart to make this holiday season a little brighter. You're making a real difference for so many! ✨

Our vision.

Our vision is a healthy community that is connected across generations. We're working to reduce loneliness and isolation, improve the health and well-being of people of all ages, and change the dialogue on aging through intergenerational programs.

Connecting generations changes lives and communities.

More than 60% of Americans are lonely. That's 200 million people. And in Connecticut alone, that's 2.1 million people. Those same people lack the opportunity for meaningful in-person social interactions on a regular basis.

Our communities have become segregated by age over the past 50 years, which has resulted in an increase in isolation and loneliness among older adults. And young adults are now feeling more lonely than older adults.

Reuniting the generations improves the health and well-being of individuals of all ages and increases community cohesion. And it changes perceptions of aging.

Intergenerational connection changes everything.

Health & well-being: Social isolation has negative health impacts comparable to the effect of smoking 15 ci******es per day.

Relationships and social interaction are the critical ingredients in well-being, particularly as we age.

Cognitive health: Holding a negative attitude toward our own aging is a risk factor for cognitive disorders as we age.

Positive attitudes about aging reduce the risk of dementia in older adults.

Life expectancy: Internalizing the negative stereotype of aging to define oneself results in longevity deficits.

Older adults with positive perceptions of aging live 7.5 years longer.

Healthcare spending: Several indicators of social isolation and loneliness have been associated with poor health.

Medicare spends about $134 more each month for every lonely senior than for every socially connected older adult. That adds up to an extra $6.7 billion of spending each year.

Community cohesion: Age segregation results in different ages seeing each other as rivals for community assets.

As age barriers disappear and ageism abates, residents unite around shared goals.
