About Our Friendly Friday
Check-In
The Friendly Friday check-in is a brief, weekly telephone call for those who may benefit from a short, friendly check-in. This call offers a brief consistent moment of human connection, reduces feelings of loneliness and isolation, and helps ensure clients feel safe and supported. For clients who observe Shabbat, calls may be made on Fridays as a meaningful end-of-week connection. For other clients, calls serve as a brief outreach at a mutually agreed-upon time.
