Ending each call, the student will assess symptoms of depression anxiety through questionnaires.

APS Usual care

Participants will receive a phone call for data collection. Then they will be offered to receive an abbreviated version of the stepped-care social and mental health engagement intervention, lasting only 6-weeks with the option to continue calls if agreeable between the student and older adult.
