Wellness Groups
The YD looks to promote social inclusion among older and younger adults in the Milton-Park community. Recognizing that many people feel socially isolated in the city, our intergenerational wellness groups provide all ages with the opportunity to lead, share and engage in workshops and activities that are community-oriented, creative and promote holistic well-being.

NEW CULTURAL ROULANT
The Cultural Roulant will bring books, games, CDs, and art supplies to the homes of seniors in an effort to help tackle the growing mental health challenges faced by many of the most vulnerable in our community. This service is available to those members with little support from friends or family and who live without home internet. Through our deliveries by friendly volunteers we hope to help alleviate boredom, keep our members active, and let them know that they are not alone. The Atwater library has kindly partnered with us to provide a wide selection of library items, including books, DVDs and CDs to participants! Seniors can call the library to reserve items (the librarians will help with recommendations) which will be delivered by roulant volunteers. Questions? Email us at roulant@yellowdoor.org The YD is pleased to announce that the Cultural Roulant project is supported financially by the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund, The Foundation of Greater Montreal, and the Gustav Levinschi Foundation.

All group activities are free, open to all, and usually facilitated by volunteers. Every week we run these groups in order to promote mental and physical health through mindfulness and artistic engagement and to foster healthy community engagement by building and strengthening connections between older and younger generations. The YD harnesses the energy and skills of a diverse group of volunteers to provide accessible programming to at-risk populations. We are always looking to add outgoing and motivated volunteers to this team. We rely on passionate individuals within the community to share their skills and enthusiasm for a particular activity to keep this program going. If you have an idea for a group that you would like to facilitate or you want to help out with a current activity, please contact us at activities@yellowdoor.org or see our list of current volunteer needs here.
