Foundation for Social Connection SILC Intervention Catalog
This catalog comprises a list of resources for connection intervention. Community Living Room is listed as number 61, a resource for addressing social isolation, loneliness, and connection as some of its outcomes. As its impact, it is a solution that engages two or more people.
“Community Living Room offers an opportunity for connection through mutual support. Trained listeners (practioniers of Emotional CPR - eCPR) create a space for folks to connect one on one or in groups. CLR addresses social isolation and loneliness by creating authentic connection at the level of emotion. CLR recognizes that connection is prevention, and by offering opportunities for authentic connection, folks experience a reduced sense of social isolation and loneliness. CLR is offered in three hour blocks, no appointments or forms needed.”
