K: Hi, I’m Cate .N: And I’m also Cate. K: And we’re doing our Community Project to spread awareness about mental health in retirement homes. We’re doing this by writing cards to people in retirement homes. N: Mental health problems among older people are often under-recognized and under-treated. This makes people reluctant to seek help. K: Around one quarter of elderly people are affected by social isolation and loneliness. N: We’re looking for cards in both English and Spanish. They will be due Friday, March 1st.K: TA Teachers, make sure to put the cards in Mr. Malinosky’s mailbox by the end of the day on Friday, March 1st.
