COSCO Workshops on Safety

Preventing elder abuse and neglect: Abuse and neglect of seniors takes many forms.
Participants learn how to identify suspicious signs and symptoms. We review potential causes, intervention techniques, and where to find help.

Mature driver assessment procedures:  For various reasons, people may be ordered to have their driving skills assessed.
One of those reasons is reaching the age of 80. The workshop describes how ageing may affect driving skills, and suggests how people may compensate.
The B.C. assessment process is described in detail, and participants are advised how to do their best in the various testing situations they may face.

COSCO Workshops on Safety

Emergency preparedness: When disaster strikes people need to be ready.
We explore the preparation of emergency kits, safety procedures in dangerous situations and give information about when and how to seek help.

Falls prevention: We review the alarming impact falls have on the well-being of seniors and identify hazards that contribute to the likelihood of falls.
We recommend safeguards and demonstrate exercises to improve balance and strength.
