Oregon Senior Peer Outreach
Weekdays and Weekends
Older Adult Telephone Support
“No Need To Go It Alone”
Oregon Senior Peer Outreach offers friendly weekly calls to older adults who may be experiencing loneliness, isolation, sadness, grief or loss. This year has been exceptionally challenging for seniors, and our trained senior peers are ready to share their hope and connection!
In every county of the state, we are offering “Holiday Connection Calls!” Our friendly trained senior peer supporters will provide a reliable weekly call to listen, learn and share with you through the fall and winter holidays.
Please let us know you would like our service by calling 1-833-736-4676
or
make a referral online using our Senior Outreach Online Referral Form
Senior Outreach Online Referral Form (CLICK HERE!!!)
If an older adult lives in an OSPO County (Washington, Clatsop, Columbia or Tillamook), we can offer long-term peer partnerships! These weekly calls have proven results of reducing loneliness.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Peers reach out to seniors that feel lonely.
The Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Telephone Service is now accepting referrals from ALL Oregon counties! This peer support program has been designed to increase the well-being of Oregon Seniors (55+) who live in the rural and frontier counties and has now expanded to serve all Oregon older adults who are suffering from COVID isolation. A team of experienced Senior Peer Support staff place weekly calls to connect with isolated Seniors to reduce the health impacts of loneliness and social isolation.
Program leadership is provided by CCS Staff members:
- Sharon Kuehn, Oregon Warmline/Senior Peer Outreach Program Manager
- Todd Trautner, Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Program Supervisor
- Mark Fisher, Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Program Supervisor
Our team of experienced Senior Peer Supporters place weekly telephone calls to elders (55+) in Oregon who want a caring, compassionate friend to talk with. We understand some of the unique challenges of growing older and spending too much time alone. Let us provide a caring, personal connection!
Our goal is to connect with our participants, to listen, and to discover together how we can make sense of our experiences and to find and share hope. We understand that everyone has a unique worldview. Our Senior Peer Supporters are people who have experienced life challenges – including big feelings, voices, visions, trauma, and addictions. Now that we are moving into our golden years, we feel that there is no need to go it alone!
Referrals for persons who may benefit from the new service can be made by filling out the Referral Request form located below, or by calling us at:
1-833-736-4676 (1-833-SeniorOutreach)
Seniors who are 55+ and who:
- Live in Oregon
- who may feel isolated and lonely
- and are interested in receiving weekly phone calls from another senior to build a mutually supportive relationship
Qualifying Seniors and/or persons with physical disabilities will be served. Once our service capacity is reached, a waiting list will be developed.
We look forward to hearing from you!

In every county of the state, we are offering “Holiday Connection Calls!” Our friendly trained senior peer supporters will provide a reliable weekly call to listen, learn and share with you through the fall and winter holidays.
Please let us know you would like our service by calling 1-833-736-4676

If an older adult lives in an OSPO County (Washington, Clatsop, Columbia or Tillamook), we can offer long-term peer partnerships! These weekly calls have proven results of reducing loneliness.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Peers reach out to seniors that feel lonely.
The Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Telephone Service is now accepting referrals from ALL Oregon counties! This peer support program has been designed to increase the well-being of Oregon Seniors (55+) who live in the rural and frontier counties and has now expanded to serve all Oregon older adults who are suffering from COVID isolation. A team of experienced Senior Peer Support staff place weekly calls to connect with isolated Seniors to reduce the health impacts of loneliness and social isolation.
Program leadership is provided by CCS Staff members:
- Sharon Kuehn, Oregon Warmline/Senior Peer Outreach Program Manager
- Todd Trautner, Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Program Supervisor
- Mark Fisher, Oregon Senior Peer Outreach Program Supervisor
Our team of experienced Senior Peer Supporters place weekly telephone calls to elders (55+) in Oregon who want a caring, compassionate friend to talk with. We understand some of the unique challenges of growing older and spending too much time alone. Let us provide a caring, personal connection!
Our goal is to connect with our participants, to listen, and to discover together how we can make sense of our experiences and to find and share hope. We understand that everyone has a unique worldview. Our Senior Peer Supporters are people who have experienced life challenges – including big feelings, voices, visions, trauma, and addictions. Now that we are moving into our golden years, we feel that there is no need to go it alone!
Referrals for persons who may benefit from the new service can be made by filling out the Referral Request form located below, or by calling us at:
1-833-736-4676 (1-833-SeniorOutreach)
Seniors who are 55+ and who:
- Live in Oregon
- who may feel isolated and lonely
- and are interested in receiving weekly phone calls from another senior to build a mutually supportive relationship
Qualifying Seniors and/or persons with physical disabilities will be served. Once our service capacity is reached, a waiting list will be developed.
We look forward to hearing from you!
