A questionnaire on the community service needs of LGBTQ+ seniors

Interligne wants to reach more LGBTQ+ seniors and offer programs that truly reflect their realities and needs.

In this questionnaire, LGBTQ+ seniors in Quebec are invited to express themselves about their experiences of participation and social involvement, and the services they feel are lacking or insufficient in their region.

Your participation in this questionnaire will help the organization to improve its services and meet the needs of its participants as effectively as possible. in our programs.

To fill it in :

Telephone twinning

Telephone twinning aims to break the isolation experienced by LGBTQ+ people aged 65. Any senior who feels lonely can sign up for the service and have a member of the Interligne team call them on a regular basis.

Intergenerational correspondence

Trait d’union: LGBTQ+ intergenerational correspondence is a project that invites young and older LGBTQ+ people in Quebec to engage in an exchange of handwritten letters. By fostering mutual understanding between two generations, the project aims to help break the cycle of social isolation.

The Trait d’union collection : LGBTQ+ intergenerational correspondence

To perpetuate many of the letters exchanged in the first year of the Trait d’union program, a collection of the same name was published in 2022.

Download the digital collection free of charge or order the print version for $25 from our online store.
