During the class, participants learn to: 1) View falls as controllable, 2) set goals for increasing activity, 3) make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and 4) exercise to increase strength and balance.

Dates:   8 sessions (2 x week) – Wednesdays and Thursdays – October 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 & 26, 2017
