Therefore\, older adults with dementia can be considered a high-risk group for falls. An understanding of risk factors for falls among this population is required so that health care professionals can develop effective falls prevention strategies to reduce the negative impact of falls on an individual’s quality of life as well as the economic burden of treating falls in their workplace/clinical setting. \nNote: This webinar is 10:00 – 11:00am AWST Perth time. \nJoin Injury Matters for the Dementia Enabling Environments for Falls Prevention webinar during Dementia Action Week as Nick Seemann\, the Senior Environment Consultant at Dementia Training Australia\, joins us to discuss the dementia enabling environments project. \nThis webinar training aims to give you: \n\nIncreased knowledge of dementia and its effect on fall risk\nIncreased awareness of environmental barriers and supports the movement for people living with dementia.\nIncreased confidence to identify falls risks created by environments for people living with dementia.\nIncreased confidence to help create supportive environments for people living with dementia.\n\nRegister Here URL:https://www.injurymatters.org.au/event/dementia-enabling-environments-for-falls-prevention/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Stay On Your Feet ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.injurymatters.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Dementia-Older-Man-with-Photo.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Stay On Your Feet%C2%AE":MAILTO:info@injurymatters.org.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20210818T180000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20210818T200000 DTSTAMP:20260531T211832 CREATED:20210707T065912Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210805T031846Z UID:2666-1629309600-1629316800@www.injurymatters.org.au SUMMARY:Falls Prevention and Neurological Conditions Workshop DESCRIPTION:Join Injury Matters for the “Falls Prevention and Neurological Conditions Workshop”.

Carers’ concerns for older adults’ falls risk\, can have a severe impact on the psychological well-being and ability of family carers to prevent falls. Falls prevention programs that include family carers contribute to significant improvement in falls risk awareness and knowledge in carers and their care recipients. However\, maladaptive caring strategies adopted by carers could lead to dependence and increasing risk of falling among older adults at home. \nJoin Injury Matters for the ‘Understanding family carers fall concern and their management of older adults fall risks at home webinar’. A presentation will be provided by Marcus Ang\, Edith Cowan University who will discuss issues that contribute to concerns of family carers regarding risk of falling and the strategies they use to prevent older adults from falling at home.
