Helping You Help Others
What Can I Do to Help Others in My Community?
Interested in helping others reduce their risk of falls? The sense of connection and satisfaction that comes from giving back close to home, can be palpable. In addition, participating in community programs, local events, or neighborhood initiatives can introduce you to like-minded, passionate individuals.
Remember, whether it’s for yourself, a loved one or others in your community, we all have a role to play in helping to prevent falls.
Fall Prevention Awareness Campaign
Preventing frailty and falls isn’t just about avoiding injury—it’s about being able to continue enjoying life’s simple pleasures. Most importantly, it’s about maintaining independence.
Our Fall Prevention campaign aims to inform older adults, caregivers, healthcare professionals and the public about the risk of frailty and falls and the steps we can take to prevent them.
Safe Winter Walking
Winter can be a challenging season for regular outdoor activities. Freezing rain, hard-packed snow and icy surfaces are often hazards for unsuspecting pedestrians. Just one bad fall can bring lasting long-term consequences. Taking a few simple precautions can make outdoor activities safer this time of the year.
