Keeping Us Safe

Matt Gurwell, founder of Keeping Us Safe says "We are delighted that the State of Missouri has recognized the need for such programs and we are honored that they have entrusted us to deliver this information to Missouri’s social workers”.

The Beyond Driving with Dignity training and certification program is designed to arm certain professionals with tools necessary to help older drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminished driving skills.

Founded in 2008, Keeping Us Safe is an organization that provides practical, real-life solutions to older drivers and their families.

Having received this certification, Johnson is now well-suited to provide older drivers and their families with a very specific program that will help make decisions on how to keep the older driver safe.

Keeping Us Safe’s ‘self-assessment program for older drivers’ provides concerned families with the missing link between their desire to bring the driving issue to a peaceful resolution, and their ability to actually do so.

“A fundamental component of our mission is to provide educational support for members of the professional community that may find themselves in the difficult position of helping families deal with this very sensitive and emotional issue”.

"The workbook employs a very user-friendly, uncomplicated method and is designed to be used in the comfort and confidence of the family’s home." says Janice Livesay, one of Keeping Us Safe's Certified "Beyond Driving with Dignity" Professionals.
