A Matter of Balance - Fall Prevention Classes in Santa Cruz

An 8-session workshop series for adults over 60, with either a fear of falling or have experienced a fall. Build confidence, improve balance, and reduce fall risk! Led by volunteer coaches from the Santa Cruz Volunteer Center, the award-winning falls prevention training program, A Matter of Balance, offers an evidenced-based approach to reducing the fear of falling and increasing activity levels among older adults. Participants learn simple exercises in balance and strength building to help prevent falls, as well as home safety tips. In small group sessions, we explore techniques to overcome the fear of falling, so participants come away with a well-rounded approach to staying safe and healthy at home, and beyond. Sessions will take place at the Live Oak Library Annex at Simpkins Family Swim Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays, October 13- November 10 (No class on Tuesday, November 3). Space is limited and registration is required.
