Falls can happen to anyone, but many are preventable with the right knowledge and tools. Our Falls Prevention Coalition is committed to help individuals stay safe, independent, and confident through interactive education and hands-on training.
We offer engaging presentation and classes tailored for community groups, churches, senior center, and social organizations. Whether you're looking to host a small group discussion or a larger education event, our team will work with you to create a program that meets your needs.

Supporting Fall Prevention in Manatee County
We coordinate a fully customizable event to bring falls prevention education, resources and wellness screenings to you. This could be a full two-hour event consisting of an hour-long falls prevention presentation and followed by wellness screenings like mobility, hearing, and vision. Or, it could simply be a short educational presentation. We can customize the event to whatever best fits your needs!
Our coalition is comprised of community partners passionate about preventing falls in older adults. Our members are physicians, nurses, other healthcare professionals, senior care advisors, and community volunteers. As a group, we bring a wide range of skills, resources, and information to the coalition.
There is NO CHARGE! Our coalition will provide everything needed and can assist in coordinating any other needs that may make for a more successful event.
The coalition needs a space with chairs that can accommodate the number of participants you plan for the event. If other rooms or areas are available, that is helpful for the screenings, but it is not a requirement. We can work around most spaces and accommodate however needed. AV equipment or TV with HDMI is helpful to give a visual presentation, but again it is not a requirement.
