The project held three volunteer trainings with more than 60 volunteers to promote mental health in the serving district. Among them, 12 volunteers have completed 80 hours of training. In the coming future, they will provide peer support service to the elderly with depression symptoms in the district. 中學入校活動 Linkage activity for secondary school 龍澄坊 Vitality Place 朋輩重聚日 Peers gathering 數碼精齡活動 “ITELF” programme 疫情下很多長者因缺乏智能手機及網路服務， 令他們社交孤立，影響身心健康，數碼精齡計 劃應運而生。計劃內容包括與不同社區機構合 作舉辦「精齡培訓班」，組員在堂上獲贈「樂齡 數碼包」進行學習。完成培訓班的組員可以在 職員建立的「精齡資訊谷」群組中，提出手機上 疑問。組員完成「精靈在線」後會安排參觀不同 社區機構或地區康健中心，即時登記成為會 員。計劃最終希望組員主動走出社區，與中心 職員、義工、會員互動，達致計劃目的 — 消除 數碼隔閡，連繫社區社群。 Due to the lack of smartphones and internet services, many elderly have suffered from social isolation and their health has been negatively affected during the pandemic. The “IT ELF” was then developed. It included the “senior training courses” which cooperated with different community organisations, and the participants received the “senior digital packs” for smartphone and internet training. After completing the trainings, the participants enquired and sought IT support in the “Smart Age Information Valley” group. Participants were encouraged to visit different community organisations or District Health Centres after completing the “Elf Online”, and registered as members immediately. The ultimate goals of the project “to eliminate digital barriers and connect the community” had been achieved when the participants took the initiative to go out, connect with the community and interacted with centre staff, volunteers, and other participants.
