Research shows that both groups: young and old benefit from relationships that thrive in the context of age and generational differences. At EPAGA, we too recognize the importance of intergenerational connection in our own lives, and in the lives of our clients. Additionally, we know that community and connection is important to the heart of God, and strive to hold ourselves to His standard.
