The YWCA welcomes the community to participate in \u201cA Matter of Balance\u201d class series.<\/p>\n

There are many things that can contribute to a fall:\u00a0 losing one\u2019s balance, eyesight, lack of proper nutrition, tripping hazards, shoes, bad weather, and many others. Falls and accidents seldom \u201cjust happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moreover, there are many things that can be done to prevent the likelihood of a fall. This eight-part class will go into detail about many areas that can be changed to help prevent falls.<\/p>\n
