What is everyone doing for Fall Prevention Month 2023?

Posted October 24, 2023

Fall Prevention Month (FPM) is just over a week away and I wanted to create a space where folks could share what they have planned, ask others about their initiatives and identify opportunities for some collective action  If you have any plans (big or small!) for FPM, share them in the comments. 

 

I can share that Parachute and the FPM social media accounts will be posting about fall prevention all month long using the 2023 campaign hashtags #FallPreventionMonthCA (French: #MoisPréventionChutesCA) and #MoveImproveRemove (French: #DemeurerAméliorerÉliminer). Posts will share fall prevention tips, fall-related statistics and direct people to more information about fall prevention and healthy aging.

 

If you aren’t sure where to start with planning, https://www.fallpreventionmonth.ca / https://www.novembresanschute.ca has tools to help health and service providers, business, government and academia to raise awareness and engage their communities in preventing falls and fall-related injuries. 

 

The best place to find out when new materials have been added to the Fall Prevention Month (FPM) website is by signing up for the FPM newsletter: https://www.fallpreventionmonth.ca/sign-up Newsletters are only sent in the months leading up to FPM, not all year round. The Newsletter Archive is a great place to find out what’s new for this year and where to find the most popular resources.
