Finding Balance is an education program and public awareness campaign designed to educate and empower older Albertans to stay independent and prevent falls.
Falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors. As we get older, our bodies naturally change, which affects how we feel, move, and behave. This makes the risk of falling higher. A fall can result in serious injuries, like broken bones or chronic pain, which can make it harder to do everyday activities. Even if you don’t get hurt, a fall can lead to a loss of confidence and cause you to avoid being active. Staying safe and preventing falls is important for keeping independence and enjoying life as we age. Finding Balance helps to reduce the risk of falls and keeps seniors healthy, active, and confident.
