Developed by the Alzheimer\u2019s Society<br \/>\nin the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in<br \/>\nMassachusetts. By helping everyone in a community understand what dementia<br \/>\nis and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference for people<br \/>\ntouched by dementia. <\/p>\n<p>To become a Dementia Friend, you participate in a one-hour Dementia Friends<br \/>\ninformation session offered by a Dementia Friends Champion. You will learn<br \/>\nfive key messages about dementia and a bit about what it\u2019s like to live<br \/>\nwith dementia. As a Dementia Friend, you turn your new understanding of<br \/>\ndementia into a practical action that can help someone with dementia living<br \/>\nin your community. Your action can be as big or as small as you choose \u2013<br \/>\nbecause every action counts! <\/p>\n<p>The goal of the Hanover COA staff is to train as many staff, residents, and<br \/>\nbusiness owners as possible, in Hanover and the surrounding towns, to<br \/>\nbecome Dementia Friends. <\/p>\n<p>Classes are held monthly on the last Wednesday of the month at 4:30 p.m.<br \/>\nFor questions or further information, call the Hanover Senior Center at<br \/>\n781-924-1913 or e-mail patty.walker@hanover-ma.gov .<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221;,<br \/>\nCathy H-B<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n&#8220;Around Town on the Web&#8221; (&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;) has been a valued push notification<br \/>\nsince the spring of 2004 &#8211; long before there were push notifications!<\/p>\n<p>For submission guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions about<br \/>\n&#8220;ATOTW&#8221;, please go to<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/atotw.com\/maillist\/lt.php?tid=xodILJYE77y5AydNykl3XkoBaPjOgyWCk\/4sFFajuwJoqLt7nDNIRqoN783ZLADJ<br \/>\nTo search for archived &#8220;ATOTW&#8221; news, view the archive<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIf you would like to be added to this distribution list, click here<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nPlease follow the link in the response e-mail to validate your account.
