Fall Prevention Strategies

Many older adults experience concerns about falling and restrict their activities. This program emphasizes practical strategies to manage falls. 

Participants will learn how to:

  • View falls as controllable
  • Set realistic goals for increasing activity
  • Reduce their fall risk at home and in their environment
  • Increase balance and strength with the exercises

Who should attend? 

Anyone concerned about falls; anyone interested in improving balance, flexibility, and strength; anyone who has fallen in the past; anyone who has restricted activities because of falling concerns.
