Contact list - Falls and falls prevention

If you have not already done so, you may want to set up a book to list contacts you make as you initiate activities related to falls prevention and active living. See Resources: Program Tool 24 - Contact list for a form you might use.

Organizations that may have information or resources on falls and falls prevention include:

• Public health departments - Injury prevention or seniors' health programs
• Falls clinics - Services to help those at risk for falls, and those who have fallen
• Regional geriatric assessment programs - Resources (people, publications) for healthy aging
• Hospitals or geriatric day hospitals - outpatient or older adults' clinics
• Rehabilitation centres - Work with clients who have had heart attacks, strokes, etc.
• Community health centres - educational programs for older adults
• Not-for-profit associations focusing on specific medical conditions such as osteoporosis or arthritis - information on appropriate physical activity and falls prevention
