Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention Leader Resources
Update: Our current funding cycle for fall prevention programs under the Administration for Community Living 2019 grant to the Illinois Pathways to Health Initiative has concluded.
If you continue to facilitate fall prevention programing-
- Please register your workshops on the ILPTH website.
This helps you because:- AgeOptions invested funds to do large scale media campaigns to include a commercial, banner ads, redirecting and geofencing. This will increase visibility of your workshops and increase brand awareness for your organization.
- We will track leader certification and keep you up to date when leaders are nearing expiration.
- It will allow AgeOptions to help support your workshops with technical assistance as needed.
- Register participants and pre and post surveys into ILPTH (scroll down to view workshop forms).
This helps us all because:- You can have your own customized data and outcome reports.
- AgeOptions is actively seeking continued funding support for all health promotion efforts statewide and we pull data and outcome reports for proposals.
If you will NOT be entering class participant data into ILPTH, please email the attendance sheet and completed participant forms to joan.fox@ageotions.org.
