Title
Promoting the Health and Well-being of English Speaking Seniors in Quebec : A Community Model
Abstract
This document describes a community model for improving the health and well-being of a linguistic minority senior population in Quebec. English-speaking seniors have unique challenges due to language barriers, socioeconomic inequalities as well as the lack of awareness of their needs and lack of representation associated with the minority status of their community. Many community organizations have recognized the critical level of vulnerability of this population and have designed and implemented successful strategies to address these challenges while remaining aligned with the Quebec government's comprehensive strategies and approaches on healthy aging such as Vieillir et vivre ensemble and Municipalite amie des aines.
The main purpose of the document is to help inform and guide English-speaking communities and their community and public partners in their ongoing collaborative efforts to effectively adapt programs and services to improve the lives of English-speaking seniors in their communities.
