      • Get help finding the right words when you take the We Need to Talk seminar. Sponsored by AARP Driver Safety, this class guides families in determining when it's time for their loved ones to hang up the keys.  While knowing when the time is right can be hard, surveys show that more than half of older drivers whose family asked them to retire from driving said they listened to and followed the suggestions of others.
      • Invaluable Advice
      • This seminar is FREE and offers practical tips and advice on three main topics:
        • The Meaning of Driving-Find out what driving means to older adults and the emotions they may face when having to give it up.
        • Observing Driving Skills- Learn to observe your loved one's driving skills objectively and talk about alternatives to driving.
        • Planning Conversations-Discover how to have "the talk" while encouraging independence.  It's a difficult conversation to initiate, but with the right tools, you can really make a difference in the life of an older driver.
