Work of the mandate and priorities of the SR 2015, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- The cooperation between sectors can also be beneficial to facilitate access to preschool education, especially for children of families at risk, and enable community readiness to accept and integrate children and adults with disabilities into all of the everyday life of the community. This approach can also offer opportunities for adolescents and youth at risk to find alternatives to youth violence by engaging them in community programmes that support recreation centres for older persons, thus contributing to the reinforcement of intergenerational links and improving the quality of human relationships in general.

Paragraph
The realization of the right to health of older persons 2011, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- Evaluations have consistently found a deficit in the information provided to older persons to help them make an informed decision, in particular those with less formal education. Some healthcare workers can be dismissive of the particular vulnerabilities of older persons, failing to adequately obtain informed consent because it may be more complex than usual to do so. A one-size-fits-all approach is often inappropriate with respect to older persons, A more customized, individualized, age-friendly approach is required to better address the needs of this group. This will imply moving beyond basic health literacy, which does not adequately secure the right to health, into greater health information awareness and education, possibly through peer networks.
