Our conversatory “Mayor y Mejor” got to the hearts of the people of Peñalolén
Our partnership with the Center for Geroscience, Mental Health and Metabolism (Gero) continues to prove itself very fruitful. On this occasion, it was the residents of the Peñalolén quarter who enjoyed the “Mayor y Mejor” discussion at the Chimkowe cultural center dedicated to self-care and active life for the elderly.
Care and Support Networks, are they the same?
Are the concepts of Care and Support Networks comparable? This research aims to distinguish the theoretical and methodological notions of both ideas from their use in different studies. It is proposed that there is an interdependence between both and even more; that care networks are those that are available and immediately perceptible, while support networks are measured in a specific event or period.
