ThinkFirst for Life
ThinkFirst For Life is an educational program focused on preventing injuries among older adults. The program helps participants identify potential hazards in their homes and communities and teaches them how to minimize the risk of falls.
It also includes a driving safety component, offering information on safe driving practices and tips to reduce the risk of accidents. As people age, they undergo physical, visual, and mental changes that make them more susceptible to medical conditions that can affect their ability to drive safely. ThinkFirst For Life aims to educate on the changes in driving as we age and how to stay safe on the road while preserving independence.
The program addresses areas of concern, provides guidance on protecting oneself, and offers advice for staying active and independent for as long as possible. Maintaining safe mobility throughout life is a shared responsibility, involving aging adults, their families, friends, and professionals who work with older adults.
