KAMLOOPS — Nursing students from TRU will be helping residents of the regional district through a new program at Thompson Nicola Regional Libraries.
The third-year student will be serving as Community and Health Navigators, helping to connect residents with community resources and referrals to angcies.
The Community and Health Navigators will provide support on health-related topics by:
- Offering personalized consultations, in-person at the Kamloops Library or over the phone, to help patrons navigate local resources to meet their physical, mental, spiritual, cultural, and social needs.
- Hosting “Coffee & Conversations,” a drop-in session designed to foster community connections and share information about health-related topics and available resources.
- Facilitating a Seniors Wellness Clinic at the North Kamloops Library, providing blood pressure checks, tips, and information on how to improve quality of life through areas such as sleep, diet, and social connections.
