A FEW COMMENTS FROM FORMER PARTICIPANTS
Hi Mike, thank you for asking. It is my pleasure to share with others about WE ARE FOCUS.
As a mother of teenagers I found this service very helpful. My son, 15 years old learned a lot and I see that after participation in this program, he is more conscious about the crucial importance to Focus while driving a car. He is not driving yet, but as a parents we want him to start to take this privilege to drive how to use this freedom wisely.
Thank you for helping. Hope we can see many communities benefiting of this program.
All the best and Merry Christmas. Marlene

I wish I had had this program when I was doing my driver training. The course is filled with so many interesting and relevant facts that other programs just don’t cover. I thought I knew a lot about being focused when driving but I learned that I really don’t. I have a son who is about to begin his driver training and I really want him to participate in this program. I hope it will be available. I think it can make a huge difference in making him a safer driver. I give this my program my strongest recommendation.

Jamie and I would like to say that we found the WE CARE FOCUS session very informative. Even as a seasoned driver, you forget or get lax about distracted driving….sometimes feel like you’ve been doing it long enough that you’ll be OK to look away for just a second. The points and information that were discussed definitely hit home with us as unfortunately, things that were brought up, we had done. Definitely nice to have a reminder of the power of the vehicles we drive and how quick things can happen.
As for the kids, I know that they both learned something. Theresa isn’t driving yet but she had said that they go to things a couple of times a year where they discuss distracted driving and Steven said that they went through it as well while taking driver’s ed….but what they never really knew or realized was the long term effects of it…the financial costs and seeing things from the side of the first responders and how they’re lives are affected as well.
We all really enjoyed it. You must know what it’s like to ask kids for 1 ½ hours of their time on a Saturday morning to attend something they say “They’ve seen a million times”! Honestly….we forced them to be there but at the end of it, we all agreed and even the kids…that we were glad we went!! Thank you Mike!

Mike was fantastic, he is a great speaker and a very relatable person, he offers a quick and effective presentation that really is able to target every member of our staff, there are parents in our staff, young guys struggling for money, and business owners, there really was something for everyone, and reminded you of that "second thought". Great presentation, thanks for your time and visiting Blackforest! Quick and painless for all!
