Stepping On
Building Confidence, Reducing Falls
Please join us for this 7-week workshop series to learn important exercises and strategies to prevent falls.
What is Stepping On?
Stepping On is a program that has been researched and proven to reduce falls in older people. It consists of a workshop that meets for two hours a week for seven weeks.
Workshops are led by two trained Stepping On professionals who partner to provide participants with a quality adult learning environment. In addition, local guest experts provide information on exercise, vision, safety, and medications.
Topics include:
- Simple and fun balance and strength training
- The role 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 fall hazards from your home
This workshop meets from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM every Thursday, from February 10th to March 24th, 2022, via UI Zoom Platform. Registrants will be emailed the Zoom link two weeks before the class begins.
