Are you aware of and can you recommend resources that involve direct engagement with other people? Engagement that is more than Social media posting? Thanks!
You might try calling the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) at 503.988.3646 or emailing adrc@multco.us, for 24-hour information and assistance to seniors (older people), people with disabilities, and caregivers. They may know have some thoughts about engagement.
