The Center for Successful Aging (CSA) offers critical mental health and counseling services to seniors facing serious illness, loss of a loved one, isolation from family and friends, transitions to assisted living and other trials of aging. CSA is one of the most pro-active organizations in Santa Barbara to ensure seniors achieve healthy aging. We provide senior peer counseling, senior peer support groups and educational initiatives that promote the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health of seniors in the Santa Barbara area. We are the only agency in Santa Barbara that provides these services at no charge to the client.
The true uniqueness of CSA's program lies in the fact that all the counselors are seniors, too. Talking to someone who has gone through the same life struggles is the critical piece in creating mutual understanding and bonding. CSA provides the training in basic counseling and empathetic listening skills to seniors who want to make a difference by volunteering their time helping other seniors. CSA reaches out to clients in their homes, often providing counseling services to those who are housebound because of physical limitations. Often it is hard to tell who benefits most, the counselor or the client. We also offer both counseling and support groups to clients at many sites, including long-term care facilities, senior centers and other locations in Santa Barbara.
The Center for Successful Aging provides assurance that the Santa Barbara community does care, and that seniors do not have to go it alone. With trained volunteer counselors available to help deal with every day problems, seniors of all backgrounds and economic status, can stay connected to their community and continue to live independent and emotionally rewarding lives. |
