New service being offered in Lorain County, Ohio to help concerned families of older drivers

PAINESVILLE, Ohio - March 8, 2016 - PRLog -- Keeping Us Safe is proud to announce that Thomas O’Reilly, MS, has successfully completed an intensive training program and is now certified as one of the Nation’s “Beyond Driving with Dignity” professionals.

O’Reilly, a professional counselor, mediator and public speaker by education and trade, will begin serving older drivers and their concerned families throughout the greater Lorain County area effective immediately.

Keeping Us Safe’s “Beyond Driving with Dignity” professional certification program has been designed to equip O’Reilly and other professionals throughout the United States with tools necessary to help older drivers and their families work through the complicated issue of age-related diminished driving skills.

Having received this certification, O’Reilly 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.

Certification in the Beyond Driving with Dignity program is designed to be a common-sense approach to facilitate (and often times mediate!) rational, common-sense driving-related solutions based on tangible facts and personal observations.  The program is unique in that it allows the older driver to play an active role in the decision making process as it relates to his or her driving future.

“Keeping Us Safe’s ‘Self-Assessment Program for Older Drivers’ was designed to preserve lives, one family at a time, and I’m very proud to be part of that initiative” explains O’Reilly.  He can be reached at 330-703-8814 or by email at thomasoreilly@keepingussafe.org.

The “Beyond Driving with Dignity” professional will receive annual in-service trainings and will have to meet standards of professionalism to maintain their certification.  For more information on the program please visit www.keepingussafe.org.  Media inquiries are asked to call 216-904-8841 for more information.
