A Matter of Balance In-Person
Hosted by the RI Geriatric Education Center, this program meets once a week for 2 hours for 8 weeks and enables participants to reduce the fear of falling by learning to view falls as controllable, setting goals for increasing activity levels, making small changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance. The curriculum includes group discussions, mutual problem solving, role-play activities, exercise training, and assertiveness training. Participants learn about the importance of exercise in preventing falls and practice exercises to improve strength, coordination, and balance. Guest health care professionals will attend to present on medication safety and falls, as well as home safety and learn how to safely get up from a fall.
