Our Town of Topsfield, MA now has a Dementia Friendly Topsfield (DFTopsfield) subcommittee of the Council on Aging, co-chaired by Lynne Bermudez and Bette Cullinan. Beyond this one-day workshop, it is these two women, with the Topsfield COA, and the stakeholders in the photo, who will be building upon the dementia-friendly awareness and programs in our town.
Serving as our Town of Topsfield’s pioneering dementia friend since 2010, it felt great to have this group of stakeholders in our community gather for training and discussion. I’m no longer a solo voice in the Topsfield wilderness! Praise God!
Moving forward with a listening heart,
vision, inquiry, and action,
~ Mary
