A Matter of Balance is a proven program designed to help people manage concerns about falls and increase physical activity. AAASWFL is looking for volunteers to help provide this program. Volunteers must reside in Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Lee, or Sarasota County to be eligible for the free training.
A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is conducted in eight two-hour sessions and uses group discussion, problem-solving strategies, videos, and gentle physical exercise to teach older adults positive coping methods to reduce fear of falling.
Coaches need good communication and interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, dependability and a willingness to lead small groups of older adults. Coaches also need to be able to lead low to moderate level exercise.
