April Falls Month is an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of falls and to promote the latest best practice fall prevention strategies.
This years Every Step Counts campaign theme aims to highlight how preventing a fall can begin with small, practical actions that help people stay active, safe and confident. Falls can happen due to many reasons, providing numerous opportunities to build strength and balance, address fall risks, seek support and make everyday environments safer. Everyone can play a part, including individuals, families, carers, health professionals and communities.
Whether someone is taking their first step towards exercise, sharing a fall experience or helping another person access support, their actions matter.
