Fall Prevention Month
Join the fall prevention month movement!
The Partners for Fall Prevention Month have created a toolkit to help other organizations promote November as Fall Prevention Month. Any organization can download and use this toolkit free of charge. You have permission to reproduce and distribute all the resources and to borrow our ideas for events and programming.
The toolkit contains:
- Suggestions for impactful, one-time fall prevention activities and events to hold during November
- Information on evidence-informed and evaluated fall prevention programs you can implement for long term results
- Provincial (Ontario) and national falls statistics
- Fall prevention resources you can print and distribute to clients
- Tools and resources about fall prevention for practitioners
- Promotional materials including the high resolution Fall Prevention Month logo, Facebook banner, media release and sample social media posts.
We would like to thank the Ontario Injury Prevention Resource Centre for hosting the toolkit on their website.

We are excited to announce that the Fall Prevention Community of Practice has officially launched their new online communication platform, Loop. Loop will allow members to:
- Network. Find an expert, mentor or collaborator.
- Crowdsource. Harness the knowledge of over 1700 members to find an answer to your fall prevention question quickly and efficiently.
- Co-create resources. Work together online to develop and then share documents.
- Work with your small group. Private groups keep your work and communications in one place.
- Share. Let others know about your research, successes or challenges and upcoming events.
