Sharjah Social Services Ends 15th Elderly Forum
The Social Services Department in Sharjah concluded the fifteenth session of the Elderly Services Forum, held under the slogan "Dignified Life and Sustainable Giving." The forum focused on developing services provided to seniors to support their independence and participation in society, emphasizing the importance of involving them in the design and evaluation of these services. Recommendations included strengthening coordination between healthcare and social services, expanding senior participation in community activities, documenting their life experiences, and creating supportive environments such as homes and facilities, while also supporting families and caregivers. The suggestions also proposed expanding volunteer programs and intergenerational communication through initiatives like "Gibraltar of Generations," "My Digital Heritage," and "60 Between Two Generations," aimed at enhancing interaction and harnessing the experiences of the elderly. Additionally, efforts should be made to adapt global practices to meet the specific needs of the local community.
