Federal Hill House will be holding a training for those interested in becoming A Matter of Balance coach/facilitator, held on April 30th and May1st from 10am-2pm both days. Matter of Balance workshops when facilitating run for 8 weeks, 1x a week for 2 hours.
Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns about Falls is geared towards older adults who have concerns about falling and the fear of falling, limit their activity or social life because of their fear of falling, and who want to increase strength, balance and flexibility. Taught by the peer to peer model so that those who participate in the program are comfortable with those in the group who share similar feelings and thoughts.
Participants in the program learn to view falls as controllable as well as set goals to increase activity levels and make changes to reduce falls in their home and environment.
Please contact Michelle Martins at mmartins@federalhillhouse.org or 401-421-1095 with any questions or to register. Registration is at no cost to those inquiring to become a coach.
