Coaches lead at least two class series within a year after certification. Each series is eight, two-hour classes. Classes are held throughout Sonoma County.  

Coaches are trained to teach practical coping strategies to both reduce fear of falling and to diminish the risk of falling. They use group discussion, mutual problem solving and lifestyle strategies to teach safety, exercises to improve strength, coordination and balance, and how to evaluate home safety.
