A Matter of Balance is an award-winning, evidence-based group program that emphasizes practical strategies to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels. Participants meet in small groups in community settings for 8 sessions, where they learn to view falls as controllable, set realistic goals, change their environment to reduce risk factors, and exercise to increase strength and balance.
A Matter of Balance is free and offered to the community through support from the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio and led by experienced, certified instructors. A Matter of Balance can help if:
A person is age 60 or older
A person has fallen in the past
A person doesn't do some things they enjoy because they fear falling
A person would like to be more flexible, stronger, and have better balance
Workshops are free, fill quickly, and class size is limited. You must register with Cara Ebel prior to the start of the workshop. Registration deadline is 9/30.
