New year, new adventures—and new ways to accidentally trip, slip, or flip! 🤾♀️🤸♀️ Let’s keep the playground and sports field fun (and injury-free). Here are 5 ways to stay safe this school year: 1. Use Equipment Like a Pro ✅: No, the slide isn’t a climbing wall, and the monkey bars aren’t for extreme stunts. Always use playground equipment as intended. 2. Swings Aren’t Catapults ⚠️: As tempting as it is, launching yourself off swings can lead to some serious injuries. 3. Eyes Up, Stay Alert 👀🚨: Watch out for rogue jump ropes, soccer balls, and, well, other kids! 4. No WWE Moves on the Playground 🚫: Play nice. No pushing or shoving. 5. Suit Up 🏈: Sports gear isn't just for style points. Helmets, pads, and shin guards = real MVPs. Got a sprain or pain?

I wanted to share this upcoming webinar on enhancing Fall Resilience - so often I find the older adults I work with come to me wanting fall prevention. I agree with taking good preventive steps but fall resilience is a much more useful approach to take - because falls are part of life - so better to invest in ways to improve your resilience overall. If you know someone you think might benefit from this session - please share it!
