Reflections...
During both sessions of Keep Stepping each small group was responsible for providing an educational presentation for the participants. The first presentation I participated in was Falls Prevention. This is an important topic for seniors as falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in people over 65. We made sure we spoke loudly enough, kept the presentation interesting with relevant facts, statistics and resources and just enough humor.
