The Injury & Violence Prevention program regularly offers engaging, hands-on classes designed to build confidence and skills.
What Is Matter of Balance?
Our program consists of eight two-hour sessions using group discussion, problem-solving strategies and physical activity.
A Matter of Balance is a free, evidenced-based, award-winning program designed to help older adults reduce their fear of falling and increase their physical activity.
Participants learn how to:
- Reduce fall hazards
- Increase strength and balance
- Improve your overall health and reduce risk of falling through increased physical activity
If you're interested in hosting an eight-week class, we'll bring our program to you. Matter of Balance is led by Connie Clark, Injury Prevention Coordinator, UVA Trauma Program.
