What is Chat Pals?
Chat Pals is a phone or video-based (Facetime or Zoom) program designed to provide:
- Connection to community
- Emotional support
- Companionship
- Improved mental and physical well-being
How Chat Pals works
Participants and volunteers are matched based on like-minded interests and experiences, so a friendship can be formed remotely.
Participants receive a call from a background-checked volunteer on a weekly basis.
