Injury Prevention & Safety Classes
Tai Chi for Health
Dr. Paul Lam’s Tai Chi for Health programs improve balance, flexibility, and posture. These programs are proven to reduce the risk of falls by 70%.
Each class begins with gentle Qigong warm ups and breathing exercises. Sessions then focus on Tai Chi movements (forms) practiced weekly. No special equipment is required — just comfortable clothing, shoes, patience, and an open mind.
Schedule: Meeting times vary per week. See the upcoming schedule at the website below.
CarFit for Older Adults
Driving safe requires more than just staying in your lane and using blinkers. Safety begins inside the car with the way an individual fits in their seat, reaches pedals, and can control their vehicle. Having the proper fit can make a large difference in the safety of yourself, your passengers, and those driving around you.
CarFit is an educational program hosted by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association to provide older adults with the information and resources on how to embrace safety in the driver’s seat. CarFit events feature trained experts that show you how to enhance safety, comfort, and fit within your vehicle. The one-time events are 20 minutes long and are hosted in person (Utah dates to be announced), on Zoom, or are available on demand on their website listed below.

Zero Fatalities – Parent/Teen Night
Teaching a teen to drive may be frightening, but it’s not as scary as what could happen if you’re not involved in your teen’s driving. Come join us for the upcoming Driver’s Education Parent-Teen Presentation to help your teen learn and exhibit safe behaviors.
Zero Fatalities hosts Parent/Teen Driving Presentations both virtually and in-person at local High Schools. These Zero Fatalities presentations discuss the responsibility each driver has on the road. They focus on the 5 driving behaviors: Drive Focused, Drive Calm, Drive Sober, Drive Alert and Drive Buckled. We encourage parents to be involved with their teens and set clear expectations and limits.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about the Utah Graduated Driver Licensing Laws and tips on teaching your teen to drive safely.
Internet Safety Nights
Join us for our upcoming Social Media/Internet Safety nights, featuring presentations by the Weber County Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Investigators. These informative sessions empower parents and teens with the knowledge needed to navigate the online world safely, including strategies to prevent exploitation, sextortion, and encountering predators on social media and apps. We strongly encourage open discussions between teens and parents to proactively address these concerns.
Join us to expand your awareness and make well-informed decisions concerning social media and its impact on our teenagers.
