A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is an evidence-based fall prevention program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. The program helps participants learn to view falls as controllable, set goals to increase activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and exercise to improve strength and balance. The illustration above shows the cover of our Participant Workbook. Ours was revisted in 2022.
Our leader asked how many of us had already fallen and which of us were afraid of falling, so I'll ask you readers to respond to those questions, as well. She also mentioned endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. I have focused on these four things for years, and we will focus on them in this class.

Falls can be so dangerous for those of us in our second half of our lives. I am so glad you're taking this course.
