CFPC Workshop

For older adults, the risk of falling and sustaining an injury is influenced by a broad set of health determinants including physical, behavioural, environmental, social and economic factors.  These wide-ranging contributors to falls can only be ameliorated by the coordinated and sustained approach of a multisectoral team of health professionals and community leaders who are well informed in evidence-based practices for prevention.

The Canadian Fall Prevention Curriculum© (CFPC) provides those working with older adults the knowledge and skills needed to apply a public health approach to the prevention of falls and fall-related injuries.  Participants learn how to design, implement and evaluate a fall prevention program tailored to their work or community setting.

The CFPC Workshop is a two-day, facilitated course.  Participants work through five lessons, incorporating interactive learning, group discussion, and completion of a Program Implementation Worksheet.  All participants receive a certificate of completion from the Canadian Fall Prevention Education Collaborative (CFPEC) after completing the workshop.
