Stay Safe: Recognize & Remove Trip Hazards at Home

The Falls Prevention Coalition of Idaho (FPC-ID) is presenting a seminar series in honor of the 2023 Falls Prevention Awareness Month (FPAM). This second seminar takes participants on a virtual tour through their home to identify what might present a trip, slip, or fall risk. Strategies to remove those hazards are provided along with resources if a person does not have the skills or resources to remove them on their own.

The goal is to bring awareness and prevention strategies to individuals, families, caregivers, communities, and civic leaders, of the incidence, outcomes, and costs of falls. With this knowledge, simple strategies can be implemented to reduce falls risk in public and private spaces, and individuals will be empowered to make decisions that reduce their risk of falling. This seminar is designed for community members who are interested in healthy aging and the impact of falls on public health.
