For more than 50 years the Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations of B.C. (COSCO) has been active in promoting the well-being of senior adults in our province. Now we have embarked upon one of the most important projects in our history. We are sponsoring a series of workshops dealing with health promotion through illness and accident prevention. The workshops are approximately 90 minutes in length. COSCO does not charge for these presentations. The workshops are:

 FALLS PREVENTION
 HEALTHY EATING
 PREVENTION OF ELDER ABUSE AND NEGLECT
 SAFETY IN THE HOME
 MEDICATION AWARENESS FOR SENIORS
 UNDERSTANDING OSTEOARTHRITIS
 OSTEOPOROSIS
 DOING IT YOUR WAY-LEGAL DOCUMENTS YOU NEED
 CARE GIVING
 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR SENIORS
 UNDERSTANDING GAMBLING ADDICTION
