September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month! Let’s make social connection a priority this month and beyond to help reduce our risk of falls and stay steady as we age.

Staying connected isn’t just good for our mood, it’s an important part of our overall health. Social connections can support habits that lower our risk of falls, like staying active, and making safe, healthy choices.

Whether it’s joining a class with a friend, going for a walk together, or simply checking in with someone you care about, those small moments of connection add up to better mobility and greater confidence.

Find tips to reduce our risk of falls at FallsFreeWI.org and meaningful ways to connect at ConnectWI.org.

How do you talk to your children about substance use? It can seem scary and like you might not know where to start. Small talks don't need to be more than a few minutes, and can be sparked by something you see on TV or in a store. Taking advantage of these moments can help kids feel more comfortable opening up, little by little.
