Senior Hangouts is an integrated online peer to peer learning platform designed to address issues arising from isolation experienced by seniors as a result of Covid 19.  Prolonged lockdowns and anxiety about the Covid 19 virus have led to escalating concerns around depression and loneliness, low self-efficacy, as well as the lack of mental stimulation often experienced by isolated seniors.
