befrienders
Those who befriend
Befrienders are people who offer friendship and support, especially in formal or organized contexts.
The term often appears in volunteer programs where befrienders visit isolated individuals—the elderly, hospitalized, or bereaved—providing companionship rather than professional care: The hospice befrienders program pairs volunteers with terminally ill patients.
