UW Health offers the Stepping On program for persons 65 years and over who have had a fall in the past year OR have a fear of falling.

Evidence shows that this workshop has reduced falls by more than 31 percent. Falls are not only dangerous for older adults – they can happen to anyone at any age.

Falls can be catastrophic and may eventually result in the loss of independence.
Participants in this program will –

  • Learn to step outside the home with confidence
  • Learn with people your own age
  • Become more aware of fall hazards and learn how your fall risk can be reduced
  • Study the most up-to-date information on fall prevention
  • Learn simple and fun balance and strength training
  • Learn how vision, medication and footwear can contribute to falls
  • Help others by sharing what has worked for you
