Mobility looks different for everyone—and the right support can make all the difference.

Canes, walkers, and other mobility aids are tools that help us stay steady, confident, and independent. Friends, family, and community support can encourage us to stay active, try new things, and keep doing what we enjoy.

When we combine the right mobility aids with strong social connections, we create more opportunities to move safely, stay engaged, and continue living life fully.

Breastfeeding awareness month (August) may be over, but we are continuing the celebration! We still have some of these beautiful t-shirts left, designed by community member and breastfeeding peer counselor, Anita Mihtukwsun.

Want a t-shirt? Send us a pic of your breastfed child, even if they are now grown! Pics can be emailed to [email protected] or [email protected].

September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month! Let’s make social connection a priority this month and beyond to help reduce our risk of falls and stay steady as we age.

Staying connected isn’t just good for our mood, it’s an important part of our overall health. Social connections can support habits that lower our risk of falls, like staying active, and making safe, healthy choices.

Whether it’s joining a class with a friend, going for a walk together, or simply checking in with someone you care about, those small moments of connection add up to better mobility and greater confidence.

Find tips to reduce our risk of falls at FallsFreeWI.org and meaningful ways to connect at ConnectWI.org.
