Stepping On

The Stepping On program consists of a workshop that meets for two hours a week for seven weeks.

Workshops are led by a health professional and a peer leader – someone who, just like you, is concerned about falls. In addition, local guest experts provide information on exercise, vision, safety and medications.

Topics include:

• Simple and fun balance and strength training.
• The role that vision plays in keeping your balance.
• How medications can contribute to falls.
• Ways to keep from falling when out in your community.
• What to look for in safe footwear.
• How to eliminate falls hazards from your home.

Is this workshop for you?

Stepping On is designed specifically for anyone who:

• Is 60 years or older.
• Has had a fall in the past year.
• Is fearful of falling.
• Lives at home.
• Does not have dementia.

Classes are offered throughout the year.
