Hello everyone,
I am working on a cross-government project that aims to reduce social
isolation of older people living in the community - Queensland Australia.
This project has 5 phases:
1. research and analysis of current responses to social isolation
2. action research using community forums
3. the identification of innovative approaches to social isolation based on
the research findings and the development of the demonstration projects
4. Implementation and evaluation of the demonstration projects based on
innovative approaches  / leading practice models
5. dissemiination of information about best practice models that reduce
social isolation

We are in the beginning stages and hope to employ a project worker in July.
Does anyone know of any similar projects to this? I would also appreciate
it if anyone can point me to any relevant journal articles or other sources
of literature on this subject. Any information or comments that people have
would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
