Cap Sur Ma Santé Event Brings Health Prevention to Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid

A New Preventative Approach for Aging Well

Tous les adultes qui veulent venir sont les bienvenus. Le cœur de cible est les personnes qui, sans se sentir vieilles, commencent à se dire : Il faut que je prenne soin de moi.

The Cap sur ma santé health forum will take place on an unspecified date in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid. Organizers designed the event for adults who want to maintain their wellness as they age without viewing themselves as elderly. The core message focuses on everyday actions that support long-term health rather than radical lifestyle overhauls.

Screening Questionnaires Shape Interactive Workshops

Organizers modeled the event activities on the Integrated Care for Older People (ICope) framework. That approach relies on screening questionnaires that individuals can complete independently or alongside a healthcare professional to assess their current health status and receive targeted advice.

Attendees can visit multiple interactive workshops covering specific wellness and medical domains. The lineup includes stations dedicated to memory, caregiver support, vision, urinary continence, physical activity, nutrition, hearing, social support and care, and psychology. Activities will also feature practical sessions like self-massage and mandala creation.

Local Providers Join Forces in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid

Nurses and nursing assistants from the Association de Soignants et d’Aides-Soignants (ASA) will staff the event alongside local community actors. Among them is Espace forme, a labeled Maison sport santé, which will present physical activities available year-round in Saint-Bonnet. The collaboration aims to connect residents with existing regional resources they can utilize throughout the year.

Targeting a Healthcare Prevention White Zone

Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid was selected as the host location because it represents a healthcare prevention white zone where few local programs are typically offered. While the organizing association is based in Ardèche and maintains an antenna in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, past Haute-Loire programs like weekly fall-prevention and nutrition workshops often drew the same recurring participants. The forum format offers a new way to map local partners and guide residents toward unfamiliar regional support services.
