The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), in conjunction with The Hartford Group and MIT Agelab, has an excellent video series named “We Need to Talk.” The series helps viewers learn how to successfully have a conversation with an older loved one about their need to stop driving. Although the video is not specifically targeting loved ones with dementia, the content is still relevant and helpful.
Having “that conversation” about the need to stop driving can be tricky and the AARP video “We Need to Talk” can help get the conversation started. The video is free, and is interactive and engaging. The video is broken into modules so that you don’t have to watch it all at once, but can complete it when you have time.
To watch “We Need to Talk,” go to the following link at the AARP website: "We Need to Talk" video.
