Description

If you are passionate about helping seniors in your community, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! We are seeking upbeat, passionate individuals to coach evidence-based fall prevention classes called Matter of Balance. These classes help seniors overcome the fear of falling by using cognitive restructuring, an exercise regimen, and evidence-based methods. 

Matter of Balance is an 8 class program, in which each class is 2 hours long. In order to become a coach for this awesome opportunity, all you need to do is attend an 8 hour training (split over 2 days), and be ready to bring your best self to the classes you will teach!

What are some perks of becoming a Matter of Balance coach? 

  • gaining a sense of empowerment over your own health
  • fostering awesome relationships with great people
  • building a community of people who are united with a common concern (fear of falling)
  • sharing with others in a safe environment
