We Need to Talk: When It Is Time for a Loved One to Stop Driving
How do you know when it's time for your loved one to limit or stop driving? It’s a tough subject for most families, but it's a serious matter. AARP’s We Need To Talk will help you determine how to assess your loved one’s driving skills, provide tools to help you navigate this important conversation and determine alternative options in your community to keep your loved one connected and independent.


We Earned It - Keeping Social Security Secure
Social Security has been a stable and popular program since its inception, but the program faces a long-term financial shortfall. If Congress doesn’t act in the next 10 years benefits could be cut. In this session, we’ll share the most common proposals to ensure that Social Security can pay the full benefits Americans have earned. AARP is advocating to protect Social Security, and we’re here to help you understand each of the proposed solutions.


Caregiving: Caring for Your Family. Friends and Loved Ones
No matter where you are in the journey of family caregiving – just beginning to anticipate a need, helping to coordinate a big move, or taking care of a family member full-time – having a good framework to guide both you and your loved one will make the process easier. During this session, we will share a framework to help you make plans to care for friends, family members, or loved ones.
