Denise, Ashley & Jennifer, MSW Students, "The U.S Census Bureau has determined that by 2030, one in five drivers will be age 65 or older, which means there will be more than 30 million older drivers on our roads" (AAA, 2005). Statistics reveal older drivers have more traffic crashes and fatalities than all other age groups other than the youngest drivers (Higgins, 2003). Due to these facts driving safety is an important issue in the coming years. As a person ages their physical abilities are known to decline. DMV spokesman, Evan Nossoff, reported "After age 80, there is a sharp decline in driving ability, although many drivers continue driving safely. Until legislative guidelines can be enacted to further address the issue of driving in the elderly, improvements can be undertaken to reduce the presence of unsafe elderly drivers on our roads." We (MSW students at California State University, Bakersfield), are striving to create an awareness among social workers regarding available DMV forms to report driving elders which are suspected to be unsafe and in need of a re-examination. The form is used by a person who is not a physician or a police officer to notify the DMV of a driver who has a possible medical or physical condition that can affect the safe operation of motor vehicles. Through the provided website (http://www.dmv.org/publications.php) you click on your state of residence and search under "Find DMV Forms" to find the appropriate form for the state in which you practice. The form can also be accessed directly through your states DMV website. As individuals who are passionate about our nation's elderly, we look forward to your powerful recognition concerning elderly driving. We strongly urge you to implement the form into your social work practice, and inform other social workers on how they can protect our roads and our elders. E-mail us at advocate4elders@gmail.com

Sherrie L Shenkin, MS Counseling/Psychology, Greetings! I am a recent graduate with a Master's degree in Counseling. I went back to school later in life (I am now 49) and obtained my Masters degree via distance learning with Breyer State University. At the present time I am seeking a mentorship so that I can further build upon my education and thus continue to grow, learn and enhance my current knowledge and skill. My long term objective is to develop and maintain a sucessful private practice. My goals in seeking a mentoring relationship is in my dedication to the field and to learn from one more skilled than I and to do this with a more seasoned therapist. It is my desire to pursue to acquire the utmost in professionalism and to demonstrate to future clients in my service to others a reliability, competence, responsibility and excellence in performance. Human behavior and the field of Social Work captivates me like no other. I seek to assist others in their own empowerment by using my own signature strengths to draw out their signature strengths by collaboration and by providing at all times the clients rights to full freedom, choice and responsibility in their quest for contentment and stability. I hold a variety of interests in populations and specialties but am currently trying to streamline more of my focus onto a key couple of areas such as Anger & Emotional Management, Depression/Anxiety/Phobias, Communication Enhancement, Relationship Repair, Self-Esteem/CoDependency, Grief & Loss, and Crisis Intervention. Due to my long time fascination with the field and desire to work in the field also comes with much respect for therapists, researchers and educators alike and it is my genuine objective to connect with others who can thoroughly enhance my learning experiences. In addition, I hold memberships with the APA, ACA, NAMI, AMHCA, and CAP. Please let me know if any of you are interested in becoming my mentor and sharing your knowledge with me. In addition, I very much look forward to hearing from any and all of you and participating actively on this highly respected site the, Social Work Cafe! Lastly, my "Statement of Intent" is available for review as are two recently composed reports that were required for completion of my Master's for anyone interested in reading. Thanks! Sherrie.
