The Fall Prevention Forum is a gathering that takes place annually in September during Fall Prevention Awareness Month. The event typically consists of speakers interspersed with balance enhancement activities and demonstrations, as well as health assessments. The goal is to help attendees learn to protect themselves from life-altering — and sometimes fatal, falls — Following is an archive of videos from the past few Fall Prevention Forums:
