Falls Prevention and Health and Wellness Opportunities
Date: Friday, March 25, 2022
Time: 1:00PM
During the pandemic, all meetings are virtual. We hope to meet soon again in person, rotating our 4 county coverage area: Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne.
Falls Prevention
Many of us have neighbors and loved ones that are at an increased risk of falls. Or, maybe you also fit with that increased risk. A nasty fall could result in lengthy hospital stays, and directly impact long-term care planning. Learn more about how falls can impact your future or the future of a loved one, in other ways than just the physical, and about steps you can take now to protect and prevent!
Health and Wellness Opportunities
Direction Home Akron Canton is pleased to provide an exciting new opportunity for local faith organizations and leaders to offer FREE high-demand, evidence-based health and wellness programming, while getting reimbursed!
Our evidence-based workshops have been proven to reduce the need for more costly medical intervention and improve overall well-being. Each free and interactive workshop allows small groups of 10-15 participants to learn skills to be active participants and more confident in their own care.
By becoming a Direction Home Health and Wellness Host Site, your church or building can increase foot traffic and organizational awareness through the partnership while offering free classes to older adults in your community.
Host Sites can engage their audiences with little extra effort thanks to Direction Home. Enjoy:
- FREE health and wellness programming at your convenience any time, with people you know and trust.
- FREE leaders and coach training (costs covered by Direction Home), or be matched with a leader.
- FREE assistance with workshop marketing and program support. Perfect for training your staff!
- $150 for each Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance workshop completed.
- Coaches and leaders receive $25 for each participant who completes a workshop by attending 75% or more of sessions.
