How to Contact Your State's Falls Prevention Coalition

In many states and communities, significant progress had been made in increasing falls prevention awareness and creating multidisciplinary networks. However, to achieve systems change and long-term sustainability, implementing policy change is necessary. 

Falls prevention policies differ across states, given available resources, the political climate, perceived importance of the issue, and stakeholder interest in and passion for older adult falls prevention.

If your state or community is interested in forming a falls prevention coalition, be sure to review A Practical Guide to State Coalition Building. Also, feel free to contact the National Falls Prevention Resource Center (fallsfree@ncoa.org) for technical assistance, or one of your state coalition leads.
