SUMMARY:Preventing Falls and Building Communities: A Local Government Approach | Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Local governments play a significant role in developing\, coordinating and delivering injury prevention\, safety policies and programs in their local area. Local governments’ responsibility for health can include encouraging: health promotion behaviours\, opportunities for social connection and recreational participation to increase and maintain physical and mental wellbeing. \nFalls are a significant public health issue in Western Australia. 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 fall each year. Falls can have a real impact on an individual’s life that can lead to a loss of independence and confidence\, increased concerns of falling and difficulty doing daily tasks. \nFalls are preventable\, and there are many strategies that local governments can implement to prevent falls in older adult community members. \nJoin Injury Matters on Tuesday\, 24 June 10:00 am (AWST) for the “Preventing Falls and Building Communities: A Local Government Approach” webinar\, where we will explore: \n\nWhat role local governments have in falls prevention.\nCase studies of falls prevention programs that local governments have implemented in their community.\nAdvice and insights for other local governments looking to plan and deliver their own falls prevention program.\nHow local governments can align falls prevention programs to their Public Health Plans.\n\nWho should attend? \nLocal Government workers\, Health Promotion Officers\, Community Development Officers\, and Regional and Metropolitan Health Services. \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:COVID-19 impact on mental health in older adults
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has had an impact on the mental health and well-being of older adults in Western Australia. Social isolation is a continuing problem for older adults and may lead to loneliness. Social isolation is the absence of relationships with family and friends on an individual level and with society on a broader level. Good mental health contributes greatly to an overall feeling of well-being. Untreated mental health disorders in older adults can lead to diminished functioning\, substance abuse\, poor quality of life\, and increased mortality. \nJoin Injury Matters with guest speaker Deb Reveley from Brain Ambulance as we chat through the current evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of older adults in WA\, and the interventions we as health professionals can promote for healthy ageing and reducing the impact of social isolation. \nThis session aims to: \n\nIncrease awareness of the impacts of COVID-19 on the mental health of older adults in Western Australia.\nIncrease knowledge of the mental health issues facing older adults in Western Australia.\nIncrease knowledge of the interventions to promote healthy ageing and reduce the impact of social isolation and loneliness.\nIncrease knowledge of barriers for older adults seeking assistance and intervention.\nIncrease knowledge of referral points for older adults requiring intervention.\n\nWho can attend? \nThis webinar is suitable for public health and health promotion professionals\, mental health advocates and professionals\, aged care workers\, support workers\, allied health workers\, and community services or organisations that work with older adults in the community setting. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Setting the record straight on evidence-based exercises for falls prevention
DESCRIPTION:Falls are a major public health concern – they are common in people aged 65 and older\, and are the leading cause of injury in this age group. Around one-third of generally healthy people aged 65 and older will have at least one fall each year. It is important that health professionals working with older adults implement and promote evidence-based exercises that can decrease the incidence of fall related injury. Exercises to prevent falls can increase muscle strength\, flexibility\, balance\, and reaction time as these risk factors for falls are considered the most readily modified. \nAhead of Stay On Your Feet®’s Move Your Body campaign\, this webinar\, with guest speaker Jenny Conlon from Notre Dame University\, aims to go over the different evidence-based exercises that are proven to reduce falls in older adults\, along with any tools or equipment that health professionals can use\, as well as the screening methods for falls when working with an older adult client. \nThis webinar aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of evidence-based exercises for falls prevention\nIncrease awareness of the different tools and equipment that can be used in evidence-based falls prevention exercises\nIncrease skills in performing falls prevention screening\n\nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is suitable for early career allied health professionals\, support workers\, carers\, fitness instructors\, therapy assistants\, peer exercise leaders\, health promotion program coordinators\, public health advocates\, and early career physiotherapists and occupational therapists working with older adults. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Dive into the data: Injury Epidemiology Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:FREE \nWED June 15 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \n  \nDive into the data: Injury Epidemiology Online Workshop \nThe role of epidemiology in public health has come to light recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However\, epidemiological information has always been a core construct of injury prevention due to its ability to characterise the occurrence of injury\, identify at-risk population groups and assist in evaluating injury prevention strategies. \nHow do we access and interpret epidemiological data? \nWA injury prevention practitioners are fortunate to have access to multiple sources of epidemiological data to assist in quantifying the impact of injury on the community\, however it can be challenging to interpret the various forms of data available. \nJoin Injury Matters with guest facilitator Dr Lauren Fortington\, from Edith Cowan University\, for the Dive into the data: Injury Epidemiology Online Workshop. Lauren is a Senior Research Fellow in injury epidemiology at ECU and a member of the Australasian Epidemiological Association. \nDuring the workshop Lauren will share her knowledge regarding interpreting epidemiological data\, to enable participants to understand the core constructs of data and apply it to their role. \nThis online workshop aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of the role of epidemiology in injury prevention.\nIncrease skills in interpreting epidemiological injury data.\nIncrease knowledge of how to access WA injury data.\nIncrease confidence to use epidemiological data to influence injury prevention initiatives.\n\nWho can attend? \nThis online workshop is suitable for anyone looking to clarify or grow their ability to interpret injury epidemiological data\, including; public health practitioners\, health promotion professionals\, local government workers\, WA Country Health staff\, recent environmental science graduates or undergraduate health science students. \nOnline workshop access requirements\nThis interactive workshop will be run on the Zoom Meeting Platform and will involve being placed in a breakout room to participate in a group activity and discussions. To take part in this workshop you will need: \n\nAccess to a reliable internet connection.\nA device with both a camera and microphone.\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:A Lens on Falls: Vision and falls prevention among older adults
DESCRIPTION:$15 \nTHU June 2 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm \nA Lens on Falls: Vision and falls prevention among older adults \nAs people age\, it is common for their visual function to decrease\, which is associated with an increased risk of falling. Older adults with vision loss are twice as likely to fall than older adults without vision loss. Vision plays a key role in the balance and control required to carry out daily activities with older adults relying more heavily on visual information to maintain their balance. Good vision also allows older adults to identify hazards or obstacles in their environment and navigate safely around them. \nInjury Matters\, through the Stay On Your Feet® program\, and in partnership with Vision Australia WA\, are hosting a 2-hour interactive training workshop for health professionals on vision and falls prevention in older adults. The workshop aims for health professionals to better understand how poor or reduced vision affects falls in older adults and to increase their knowledge in effective strategies to reduce falls. \nThis workshop aims to: \n\nIncrease knowledge of risk factors for falls in older adults and age-related eye conditions\nIncrease knowledge of prevention strategies for vision impairment among older adults\nIncrease knowledge of interventions to reduce falls risk among older adults with vision impairment\nIncrease skills in using appropriate vision technology to reduce the risk of falls in older adults with vision impairment\nIncrease knowledge of effective eye health service delivery across regional and remote areas\nIncrease skills in using Telehealth to provide eye services to older adults in rural and remote areas.\n\nInjury Matters Cancellation and Refund Policy \nParticipants may request a refund or transfer their registration to another person if they are unable to attend. Cancellation or requests to transfer registration to another person must be received in writing via email info@stayonyourfeet.org.au\nNon-attendance or cancellations received within two (2) working days of the start of the workshop will incur the full fee. \nIf you are experiencing financial hardship but would like to attend this workshop\, please contact info@stayonyourfeet.org.au so we can accommodate for your needs. \nREGISTER HERE
