Families and Friends Learn Keys to Successful Conversations

Denver area caregivers, families, and concerned friends are invited to attend an informational session hosted by Seniors’ Resource Center.

The free seminar helps participants learn to talk with their loved ones about remaining active and participating in the community when it is time to limit or stop driving. Among the topics covered: identifying opportunities to begin a dialogue, recognizing the warning signs that indicate an older adult may need to limit or stop driving, and developing a plan using local alternate transportation so the older driver can stay connected to their community.

Who: Seniors’ Resource Center

What: Free seminar for families and friends of older drivers

Where: 3227 Chase Street, Denver, CO 80212

When: Tues., Sept. 22, 2015, 6:00 p.m. & Thurs., Sept. 24, 2015, 9:00 a.m.

Why: By 2030, one in four drivers will be age 65 and older. More than 30 million older drivers will be on our roads. Their ability to remain safe on the road and mobile in their community can be compromised by changes in their health. The We Need to Talk seminar is designed to assist family and friends to have successful conversations about when and how an older person can stay mobile when it is time to limit or stop driving.

Space is limited, so please RSVP early at (303) 807-1763.
