From the National Association of Triads, Inc. website:
Triad is a partnership of three organizations – law enforcement, senior citizens, and community groups. The sole purpose of Triad is to promote senior safety and to reduce the fear of crime that seniors often experience.
What Triads do:
- Educate: by sponsoring crime prevention and public education for older adults.
- Assist: by recruiting and training volunteers to assist police departments, sheriff’s offices and other agencies.
- Support: by identifying community resources and providing referrals to older persons to help reduce fear and lend moral support.
- Unite: by involving the senior population, law enforcement, community agencies and individuals to identify problem areas in their communities.
At the National Association of Triads, Inc., we assist you in organizing your Triad program at the grass-roots level, provide ideas and programs to implement in your community, and training materials for your law enforcement, senior volunteers, and community groups.
Visit the Triad website to find locations where Triads are already organized and, if you don’t find one in your town, the website offers tips on how to organize one. Click here to read an article about a Triad that’s working in Maryland.

It should come as no surprise that EngAGE likes radio shows; our own Experience Talks radio show is on every Saturday morning. We appreciate the history of radio, too. In the days before television and back when going to the movies was a special treat, most of our EngAGE community residents and many of our blog readers relied on their radios as a daily source of news and entertainment. So we thought you’d enjoy a look back at what radio was like in 1939. If you were too young then to remember it now — or if you were not even born yet! – you’ll still find it fascinating. 
NPR reporter Jennifer Ludden tried on a special suit developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab to find out what physical problems most older people have to cope with daily. It was an eye-opening experience for her.
