 After fall assessments were completed last month, those with a risk of falling can now attend balance classes. Crow Wing Energize has put together two hour long classes that take place once a week. Over the eight weeks, attendees will learn about the financial and emotional costs that falls have on families. The program's goal is to promote work, play, and being independent. A lot of great education that is given to them on ways to prevent falls, but also ways to gain confidence and be living independently. They also do some chair exercises and different types of things to help promote growth and balance and different musculature things that will support their work. This is only the second year the program has been available to the Breinard community.
