Better Together
Intergenerational Program
Intergenerational program for positive mental health
What is Better Together?
Better Together is an intergenerational program that connects
younger and older generations through group activities or projects
they both enjoy.
​
Why should I get involved?
There are many researched benefits of intergenerational programs for
young people, older adults, families and the community as a whole.
These include increased confidence and self-esteem, decreased stress
and loneliness, a greater sense of community and neighbourhood trust,
and reduced age discrimination. Projects contribute to the positive
mental health and wellbeing of all participants.
​
What does an intergenerational project look like?
Intergenerational programs usually involve children or young people up
to age 25, and older adults over 55. Projects can be in any area of
interest, including music, physical activity, community improvements,
mentorship, arts and crafts, technology, gardening or cooking, to name
just a few ideas.
​
How can I get involved?
If you are interested in joining an intergenerational project or are
involved in a group that may benefit from having an intergenerational
component added, we'd love to hear from you!
You can email anita@crmhaa.ca or phone 506-292-1580. You can
also message us through Facebook @capitalyouthhub.

Community Kitchen
Connecting with Community
Every year there are a couple of garden beds set aside for growing food for the local Fredericton Community Kitchen.
​
A variety of vegetables are grown and this August we harvested pounds of fresh produce for the community kitchen and food bank.
