LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Konocti Senior Support Inc. hosted an appreciation party for the volunteers of Senior Peer Counseling, one of its two programs.
They have supported seniors in the community through one-on-one counseling relationships with the homebound, whether helping with emotional problems, paperwork or assisting in relationships to other agencies.
They have donated up to four hours per week, one to two hours with a client, also one hour supervision and one hour training. This is a wonderful sharing in these times.
The Adult Day Program at the First Lutheran Church was invited to attend the party as guests.
Director Supervisor Kim Baughan-Young provides training and supervision of Senior Peer Counselor’s volunteers. They had delicious food prepared by Baughan-Young also.
Lake County representative Sarah Deng presented pins that say Mental Health Services Act Lake County Behavioral Health to the volunteers.
Toni Baker of the Konocti Support Services Board of Directors helped provide entertainment by “The Angel Lights and the Harmony Boys.” They have Vaudeville Acts with singing, dancing and comedy skits performed by seniors in the community. Fun, enjoyment and laughter were shared by all.
