Healthy Steps is a resource guide for older adults to find opportunities for physical activity in the local community and to connect with one another.

The easy-to-read and easy-to-use guide is available in both English and Spanish, and include information for all types of physical activity – from at-home exercises to hiking clubs and water aerobics classes.

An Advisory Group representing 26 Silicon Valley organizations that work with older adults contributed to the guide, along with suggestions from individuals in the community. It was developed by Health Research for Action, a center in the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health.

The guidebook also includes information on other aspects of health such as safety and falls prevention, stress and depression. It lists a broad range of community services, recreation opportunites and health and social resources for older adults.

Copies of the publication are available at a cost of $10 per copy. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, email Amy Aken at AmyA@healthtrust.org.
