A Friendly Voice is a free, confidential “warm line” for older adults aged 55 and above living in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island). It’s a welcoming space where you can freely connect with a caring individual without expectations or judgment. Whether you’re struggling with loneliness or simply looking to stay socially healthy and add some connection to your routine, we’re here to lend an empathetic ear and engage in delightful conversations.
Maybe it’s been a while since you had a heart-to-heart with someone, or you’re going through a period of loss, or perhaps you just want to gush about your new grandbaby. A Friendly Voice is here to listen.
A Friendly Voice is a social service program offered in Ontario and now the Atlantic provinces by Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS).
