Falls Prevention

CK Public Health works to prevent fall related injuries by:

  • Working  in partnership with community organizations  to support and develop safety related resources,  events and campaigns
  • Raising  awareness about  risk factors for injury
  • Informing  the general public of how to reduce the risks
  • Promoting strategies and policies for injury prevention

Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults across Canada. As our population ages, fall prevention is critically important. Take action today to prevent yourself from falling.
