A Matter of Balance – Coach Training

The Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area (AAACAP), a CAPCOG division, is seeking volunteers to become A Matter of Balance coaches and assist older adults in managing concerns about falls. AAACAP is offering a coaches training course from 1 to 6 p.m. Jan. 23 to Jan. 24 at 5401 La Crosse Avenue in Austin.

A Matter of Balance is a proven program designed to help older adults manage concerns about falls and increase physical activity. Each program is conducted through two-hour classes during an eight-week session. The coaches training helps the volunteers learn to teach participants to become more confident about managing falls, learn to reduce the risk of falls and lead exercises to help increase strength and balance. Volunteers will work with AAACAP to schedule and fill any A Matter of Balance programs.

Contact Jessica Martone, AAACAP Health and Wellness Coordinator to learn more about the coaches course and register for the training.
