‘Stepping On’ Falls Prevention Program –Now Available in More Languages!
‘Stepping On’ is a free falls prevention group program for community dwelling people 65+ including those living independently in retirement villages, who have had a fall or are fearful of falling. The program is run across NSLHD and consists of seven weekly two-hour group sessions. Eligible participants must be able to walk independently or with a walking stick and the program is not generally suitable for people with dementia or neuromuscular conditions.
With additional funding from the Sydney North Health Network, this popular program is now offered in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean, as well as our usual English language groups. Our bilingual facilitators and expert presenters deliver engaging and interactive sessions in-language. Our partnership with local community housing providers has enabled English and CALD programs to be delivered either onsite or close to community housing. Our next term begins in April/May, and registered participants will be contacted to enrol at a location convenient to them.
