A Matter of Balance - Managing Concerns About Falls

A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults.  A Matter of Balance includes eight two-hour sessions for a small group led by a trained facilitator. This nationally recognized program was developed at the Roybal Center at Boston University.  During the class, participants learn to: view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, exercise to increase strength and balance.  For additional information contact Becky Keener at the Avery Senior Center (828) 733-8220.
