 Pike Market Senior Center, one of the Senior Hubs funded by the VSHSL, launched a program called AgeWise TV that will bring learning and fitness opportunities directly to seniors’ homes. With senior centers pivoting services during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pike Market Senior Center and other senior centers throughout King County were concerned that seniors without access to the internet or smart devices would be missing out on the many web-based programs that were being offered. With AgeWise TV, seniors now have access to those programs through their TVs.
AgeWise TV airs on The Seattle Channel Thursdays and Saturdays at 1pm.

 The COVID-19 pandemic has created conditions, including social distancing, staying at home more and decreased mobility, that may put survivors of domestic violence at an increased risk of abuse and with decreased access to critical supports. Connection can help mitigate an abusive partner’s attempts to isolate a survivor. Family and friends can use the skills and habits that we developed during the pandemic (think video calls and frequent check-ins) to maintain connection to someone experiencing domestic violence.
