Each September on the first day of fall, the Falls Free® Initiative promotes National Falls Prevention Awareness Week. States and partners are encouraged to host and promote falls prevention education and screening activities to raise awareness about the impact of falls among older adults and offer practical falls prevention solutions.

This past webinar offers participants a chance to learn about our new falls prevention resources, how to strengthen community connections, and strategies to maximize your impact for the 2022 observation September 18-24.

In addition, guest speakers from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared their findings used to redesign NCOA's Falls Free CheckUp, including dissemination efforts.

Watch the recorded webinar today.
