Georgia Leads the Way Is a Loved One Showing Signs of Memory Problems?

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) offers a guide that can help you have that difficult conversation in a productive and supportive way. You can find it at https://bit.ly/GMN_ConversationGuide.

If you or a loved one are ready for clarity on the underlying cause of memory symptoms, visit GaMemoryNet.org/referrals to learn how to get a referral to a GMN Memory Assessment Clinic for an accelerated, accurate diagnosis.

Dear Friends, April has arrived, and now that spring is blooming, many of us are spending more time enjoying the outdoors, whether we’re participating in social events with friends, taking hikes or cultivating our gardens.

This month, we’re bringing you a special lineup of programming from PBS commemorating Earth Month, which occurs each April. From special episodes of American Experience to NOVA, one of the themes of the programming is how to preserve and grow the use of our natural resources.

And speaking of resources and growth, we know that some of the greatest assets we have are the relationships we’ve cultivated with organizations and experts we partner with to produce documentaries such as the riveting Crisis of Substance, educational programs like a new episode in our Live Explorations series or to host a workshop focused on perinatal mental health. You can read about each of these initiatives in this month’s GPB Extra, GPB Education and GPB in the Community sections respectively.

In the GPB Radio section, we share this year’s theme for our annual Spring Fund Drive – “I Heard It on GPB,” which begins April 18 and is inspired by the stories listeners share about how much they value the news and information they get from GPB. Like Earth Month, GPB Radio’s Spring Fund Drive shines a spotlight on our most valuable resources – in this case – it’s you, our donors - but we are grateful to you all year long, knowing that everything we accomplish is because of your support.

However you engage with us, whether you’re watching, listening or learning across our platforms, we hope you know you can count on GPB as a trusted resource.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer

EARTH MONTH Earth Month Programs Spotlight the Impacts of Climate Change and the Work of Scientists

A

s announced previously in GPB Next, PBS is kicking off an extensive environmental and climate programming initiative that begins this month in recognition of April as Earth Month.

Read on for the list of shows that are part of this initiative and check out the TV Listings for other series including NATURE and Georgia Outdoors.

American Experience “The Sun Queen” Tuesday | April 4 | 9 PM Biophysicist and inventor Mária Telkes’ driving ambition was in developing homes that could be heated, cooled and powered by solar energy. She designed and built the first successfully solar powered house in Dover, Massachusetts in 1949 when people were not understanding how you could harness the power of the sun.

GPB EDUCATION

Join Us for a Live Exploration from the State Botanical Garden May 9

T

here’s a lot of buzz about our next Live Exploration! In collaboration with the University of Georgia, GPB Education will be live streaming from the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens on May 9 at 10 a.m. ET. During this half-hour live program, viewers can learn about the role pollinators play in our environment, their life cycles and how pollinators impact our daily lives.

GPB’s live explorations have become an exciting way to bring unique concepts and locations to life for students in classrooms across the state. Previous explorations have taken students to Georgia Tech’s Invention Lab to explore design and innovation, to Tifton to explore the cotton industry and even down to Skidaway Island to explore a reef off the coast of Georgia.

“During each live exploration, we get thousands of questions from students across the state,” says GPB Education Project Manager Mary Anne Lane. “We are always amazed by how engaged and inquisitive our student viewers are.”

To learn more and register for our next Live Exploration, go to gpb.org/pollinators, and to watch previous live explorations, visit gpb.org/explore.

$martPath Puppet Video Series Makes Learning Economic Concepts Fun for Kids GPB Education recently celebrated the addition of the new $martPath video series in partnership with the Georgia Council on Economic Education, the Alpaugh Family Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati and WCET-TV, the PBS station in Cincinnati.

The videos deliver crucial early economic concepts to children, including opportunity cost, wants and needs, scarcity and more through fun, engaging songs and storylines that feature puppets including Scarcity Cat. “Teaching important concepts through puppetry is a great way to engage kids and build their early economics skills,” said Laura Evans, GPB Director of Education. “GPB is excited to add this wonderful new series to our existing collection of free education resources.” $martPath is free to use and provides standards-aligned financial and economic education content for students in grades K-8, with tailored resources for students with developmental disabilities and expert-designed teacher guides for discussions on equity.

To access the new $martpath videos, go to gpb.org/education/smartpath.

ealth and wellness continue to be a priority for all of us at GPB, including taking care of ourselves, our families and our community. This month, we are focusing specifically on maternal health through special programming

With the second highest rate of maternal mortality in the country, Georgia presents a microcosm of this growing healthcare crises nationwide. GPB is pleased to partner with the Center for Rural Health and Health Disparities and the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center at the Mercer University School of Medicine for an Advanced Perinatal Mental Health Training Workshop on April 15.

GPB EXTRA Crisis of Substance Seeks to Bring Awareness to Georgia’s Opioid Crisis New Documentary Premieres Monday, April 24 at 9 PM

E

very 11 minutes, someone in America dies of an opioid overdose. According to the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), opioids continue to ravage the lives and livelihood of Georgia citizens, particularly in areas of the state where services and resources are harder to obtain.

In partnership with DBHDD and Susie Films, GPB has produced Crisis of Substance, a documentary that takes an unfiltered look at the battle against substance abuse through the lens of Georgians battling active addiction, recovery and those dedicated to fighting a crisis that is overwhelming the nation.

“We believe that through partnerships across the continuum of care from prevention to treatment to recovery, we can work together to decrease stigma and risk factors, increase opioid addiction awareness and protective factors, and help individuals in need get connected to high-quality, compassionate, and culturally responsive care that leads to a life of recovery and independence,” said Jill D. Mays, Director, Office of Behavioral Health Prevention and Federal Grants.

Told through a series of moving stories, each profiling a different community, the goal of Crisis of Substance is to bring awareness to the growing negative impact of the opioid epidemic on the lives of individuals and families in historically under-resourced communities and the disparate health challenges they face.

“DBHDD is hopeful that Crisis of Substance will be an effective tool for us to start courageous conversations and spark collaboration as more and more people view the film and realize that everyone can do something to help save lives,” said Mays.

Crisis of Substance premieres on GPB Monday, April 24 at 9 p.m.

Three Questions with Emory’s Dr. Chad Hales Dr. Chad Hales is Georgia Memory Net’s Memory Assessment Clinic Core Lead. We asked him about new treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease that may be available in Georgia soon.

Can you tell us about lecanemab?

Lecanemab is a new Alzheimer’s disease infusion that may help slow the rate of cognitive decline based on early results of a large clinical trial. We are expecting the FDA and Medicare to discuss whether the medication should be approved and covered by insurance as we get into 2023. The medication may help patients who have very mild memory symptoms and confirmation of Alzheimer’s disease changes in the brain. Patients who have more significant memory problems as well as other exclusionary criteria (like prior brain bleeding, certain blood thinning medications, other significant medical conditions) will not be eligible.

What new opportunities do you foresee for the treatment of Alzheimer’s in the near future?

The most important next step for Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics is prevention. New therapies like lecanemab may work even better if given before memory symptoms start.

The AHEAD 3-45 clinical trial, currently

Managed by the Cognitive Neurology Program at Emory.

enrolling, is testing whether or not lecanemab will prevent the onset of symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

This is an incredible opportunity for those who have specific genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease because it is using lecanemab, which may slow the rate of cognitive decline.

What should someone who thinks they or a loved one might have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia do next?

In order to treat memory problems, you must know precisely why the brain cells are not working so that the correct treatment can be started. This highlights why it is important to speak with your medical provider at the first sign of any memory concerns to see if additional workup or referral to the Georgia Memory Net is a good next step. As new disease modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease become available, we suspect that the earlier you start the medicines the more likely the medicines will provide benefit.

Together, they dive deeply into each symbol’s history, including the Hollywood Sign, Fenway Park, American cowboys, Gadsden Flag (“Don’t Tread On Me”), American Bald Eagle, Stone Mountain, Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge.
