According to data from the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury for those ages 65 and older - with nearly 14 million older adults report falling each year. Not all falls lead to injury, but once a person has fallen, they are likely to fall again. 

In an effort to reduce this trend, the YMCA of Greater Brandywine offers A Matter of Balance, a free eight-week class to reduce the risk and fear of falling. A Matter of Balance educates participants about risks of falling and teaches strategies that can be implemented at home. 

We recently kicked off a new session of A Matter of Balance. Watch and learn about this important program!
