Participant Testimonials

In their own words, Empower@Home participants shared:

 

I was at a really dark moment when I entered this program, and I have changed so much, and I’ve learned so much.

It made me take time for myself to read, to do activities that I enjoy, to try to be more positive, to take a breath, take a breather, all of those things.

When I started this, I would’ve rated myself as very, very depressed. I feel 10 weeks later or so, a very different person. And even my husband has commented on it.

What I hadn’t thought would happen was to find the positive aspect of finding out some parts of me that I had forgotten that were there. And that was really, really helpful.

Overall for me, the program, this is gonna sound really melodramatic, but the program was actually, I feel, life-changing.

Research and Evidence Behind Empower@Home

Empower@Home has been rigorously tested. Research shows that the program is effective in reducing depression among older adults, including those who have very little experience with technology. Check out our peer-reviewed publications to find out more:

For Community Agencies

Are you interested in offering Empower@Home to your clients? We partner with community agencies like Area Agencies on Aging, senior centers, and other organizations serving older adults. 

Our program is designed to be accessible and easy to administer. No counseling experience or higher education is needed to be an Empower@Home coach. The program is self-contained, and coaches provide telephone or in-home support, following a standard guide. We also offer training to ensure your staff are well-prepared to deliver the program. 

Older adults do not need a clinical diagnosis of depression to participate. We offer several brief tools you can use to screen potential participants. We can also make recommendations based on existing tools your organization already uses.

Empower@Home is a great resource for agencies looking to improve the well-being of the older adults they serve. Join us and make a difference today!
