Organized by: MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/64418030673A free, one-day fall prevention workshop that gives you the skills to design, lead and evaluate a program in your own setting.
Falls are common among older adults, but designing effective community programs to address fall risk can be challenging. This practical, evidence-based workshop will equip community leaders, program coordinators, and service providers with the knowledge and tools needed to design, deliver, and evaluate effective exercise-based fall prevention programming for older adults.
Presented by the MIRA | Dixon Hall Centre, participants will explore the mechanisms and impact of falls, identify modifiable risk factors, and learn the essential components of effective exercise programming. Through a combination of large-group instruction, hands-on small-group activities, practical assessments, and case-based discussion, participants will apply these concepts to real-world community settings.
The workshop will provide accessible tools and resources to help participants:
Understand fall risk and modifiable risk factors
Design and adapt effective exercise programs
Assess balance, strength, and function
Use assessment findings to guide programming
Evaluate participation and program outcomes
Demonstrate program impact to support improvement and funding
Participants will leave with a practical toolkit they can apply immediately to strengthen fall prevention programming within their community.
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for community program coordinators, recreation and fitness professionals, health and social service providers, and other leaders involved in developing or delivering exercise programs for older adults. Lunch will be provided. No previous experience in fall prevention programming is required.
