A Matter of Balance acknowledges the risk of falling and emphasizes practical coping strategies to reduce this fear. These strategies include promoting a view of falls and fear of falling as controllable, setting realistic goals for increasing activity, changing the environment to reduce fall risk factors, and promoting exercise to increase strength and balance. This workshop is conducted over eight sessions, meeting once weekly for two hours per session. The sessions are led by trained volunteer coaches. The program’s goal is to reduce the fear of falling, stop the fear of falling cycle, and increase physical activity and confidence, and support older adults in their desire to live independently.
