Other care

Meeting new people, caring for a fellow resident; it is often difficult to handle these things on your own and get things done. The social brokers at MeerWaarde bring people and organizations together. They do this by establishing relationships. They take residents to facilities and activities in the neighborhood and support them in expanding their social network. The social brokers' premise is that social contacts are essential for people's health and happiness.

You can engage the social brokers when you:

• has a need for more social contact, companionship, or daytime activities
• has questions or concerns about the well-being of a neighborhood resident
• are curious about activities in the neighborhood
• is missing something in the neighborhood or has a nice idea for the local residents 
• sees opportunities for collaboration between residents and organizations in the neighborhood
• wants to dedicate himself to other people

The social broker thinks along with you, helps clarify questions, and looks for possibilities with you.
