Braintree Mom Launches New Pathway for Young Adults

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center is a nonprofit vocational and life skills program based in Hanover, Massachusetts, serving young adults ages 18–26 with moderate cognitive disabilities. Our mission is to help students build practical job skills in the trades, confidence, independence, emotional regulation, and workplace readiness through hands-on vocational training and supportive learning experiences. The program was created in response to the growing need for meaningful transition opportunities for young adults as they move beyond high school and into adulthood. Many families struggle to find programs that combine practical workforce preparation, life skills development, communication skills, confidence-building, and supportive real-world learning experiences. Dharma Dreams offers hands-on exposure to vocational areas such as landscaping and grounds maintenance, painting and surface preparation, workplace professionalism, entrepreneurship basics, and life skills training. Students also learn mind-body techniques that support focus, confidence, emotional regulation, stress management, and workplace success. Our introductory summer program, launching at the end of July, is designed to help students and families become familiar with the program and explore vocational interests before participating in longer-term programming. Long-term programming focuses on helping students develop greater independence, workplace readiness, responsibility, confidence, and practical trade skills through structured, hands-on learning experiences. Dharma Dreams Vocational Center aims to create supportive pathways toward greater independence, meaningful employment opportunities, and a stronger sense of purpose while helping young adults feel valued, capable, and connected to their future potential.

HINGHAM, MA — Dogs at Bare Cove Park will not need a leash on certain days. The selectmen voted Tuesday night to allow for dogs to go off leash on odd-numbered days. The main concern from those at the meeting stemmed from a requirement that those who wish to participate the program must show proof of insurance at town hall. Board members say they have no interest in collecting copies of insurance and just want to be able to check off that the dogs are covered. "It's appropriate to have an applicant certify that they have an insurance policy. I understand that can be a hardship, but I'm looking at the hardship in another way. If there is somebody who is injured in the park by an animal and they don't have the economic means to get medical care they need, I'm saying where should that risk fall and if I have to make a choice I'm going to air on the side of someone injured through no fault of their own because I don't want them to be vulnerable," selectmen Chairman Mary Powers said. Selectman Paul Healey said he was concerned with some public safety issues that could put the town at risk. "If people go in there and someone gets hurt and they go looking for a remedy where there is none, they are going to look towards the town. It's going to turn into a quagmire that we're going to revisit," Healey said. The rules state that off-leash dogs must be in sight and within 40 feet of their owner. The program starts July 15. <hr />Image: File Photo
