Research shows that talking is crucial to brain development, mental health, and well-being.

Talking has been shown to feed and enhance the working, short term memory, which is the first type to decline in Seniors. Improvement of the working memory will, in turn, feed the long-term memory and overall health.

Phone buddies are trained, empathic, passionate volunteers of all ages who are connected to a senior to call once or twice a week for at least half an hour.

It has also been shown that listening helps build empathy and talking helps to improve our mood so the benefits are reciprocal to both parties.

Friendly Voices also provides prepaid phones with unlimited minutes to all phone buddies who request them.
