Students Michael Tran, University of Windsor Human Kinetics and Natalie Russell, St. Clair College Social Service Worker Gerontology, facilitate gentle exercises (and lots of laughs!) in the home of a VON SMART program participant.  Through this experiential learning opportunity, Mike and Natalie have access to the client perspective and voice.  They learn first hand what it's like to live with a chronic condition and how important it is for our older adults and seniors to stay active, feel a sense of purpose/accomplishment and remain connected to their community.  They are also learning to recognize fall risk factors and implement strategies to minimize and/or reduce those risks.
