Senior support and elder abuse prevention (Y.A.N.A.)
Summary
The police-run YANA program calls isolated seniors weekly, but with only 7 volunteers for 26 participants it can't take anyone new. Volunteers must first complete the 11-week Citizens Academy and a background check, which slows recruitment.
