Our clients are the elderly, most of whom are prone to stress. This condition appears as a result of narrowing of communication sphere, withdrawal from active life and loneliness. At present, there are no clear principles and techniques for working with older people, but it is obvious that assistance and psychological support in such situations are necessary and important... Therefore, a few months ago, the psychologists of ICF "Jewish Hesed "Bnei Azriel" began to hold meetings with clients of the Day center.
"An hour with psychologist" is a group activity with older people, every time on the new topic and adapted to the dynamics and the request of the group. The goal of our classes is the reduction of psychological discomfort, level of aggression of seniors, formation of psychological culture of communication and strengthening of psychological health.
During the classes we share our emotions, speak through the feelings, rethink limiting beliefs, work in pairs, and do practical exercises. After all, the activity and creativity is the key to success of such meetings. At the moment our classes are held on a regular basis 1 time per week. Such a schedule allows us to meet with groups from different districts of Kiev and Kiev region, and provide psychological service to as many people as possible. Class time flies by, but the effect is immediately visible: the faces of our clients light up with joy and inspiration. And this is what motivates us best to prepare well for the next meeting.
Do you remember the famous dialogue of two kind elderly Jews?
- Monya, I so much enjoyed the dinner we had, but it's time to leave. So don't worry, I'll let myself out...
- Oh, why, Yasha! This is not a discomfort. It's a pleasure!
So we do not have a hint of concern, as seeing you in our Kiev Hesed is always a pleasure! We are waiting for you at our classes, dear friends! May good health and good mood accompany you every day!
