What can we do?

We use a short video to introduce our work

COMMUNICATION IS THE BEST COMPANY

  • Wisdom-Connect was borne as an idea following a lot of awful stories.There were many patients who suffered from mental illnesses that were certainly treatable. There were also many who were lonely, and isolated, living in giant houses as the sole occupant standing. When given the right environment, they flourished.

  • I remember the first patient I ever saw as a medical student, to whom I turned up with a large template with headings, as I thought that was the way one took histories. The man went on to discuss his life history and philosophy, and a 20 minute interview turned into three and a half hours. In going on to work with older adults, I was amazed at the stories that I got to hear, and the knowledge they had.
  • Knowledge which was wasted.
  • I remember thinking that these “patients” deserved so much more. My experience was backed up by the research, it seemed – the Harvard Study of Ageing identified that the practice best associated with happiness in later life was the opportunity to transmit one’s knowledge to the next generation.
  • At Wisdom-Connect, we hope to create a platform to connect the generations. To allow isolated elders to be able to find friends. To help those searching answers to find them from the only sources worth listening to. To respect the past, as we work to the future.
