What your organization can do

As an organization that offers programs and services for older adults, you can support your members to take steps to reduce their risk of falling by:

  • Providing information and learning opportunities
  • Offering programs and activities
  • Motivating and supporting your members as they make changes
  • Reducing barriers that your members may experience as they attempt to make changes
  • Making adaptations in and around your building to eliminate hazards
  • Letting members know about other resources in your community
