The Supporting Older Adults Remotely (SOAR) Curriculum is an evidence-based training program designed to equip peer supporters with the skills necessary to provide effective virtual support to older adults. Developed by experts in digital peer support, SOAR focuses on enhancing the ability of peer specialists to engage with older adults through remote platforms, ensuring that support remains accessible and impactful regardless of physical distance.​

The curriculum covers essential topics such as building rapport in virtual environments, understanding the unique challenges faced by older adults, and utilizing digital tools to facilitate meaningful connections. By completing the SOAR training, peer supporters are better prepared to address issues like loneliness, mental health challenges, and life transitions among older adults, fostering a sense of community and well-being.
