Fall Prevention Program Train-the-Trainer program offered in Northern California

The El Dorado Hills Aging Commission (Commission on Aging, COA) recognizes the value of fall prevention education and the importance of training volunteers in evidence-based programs in order to reduce the incidence of falls among older adults.   Like most government agencies, EDH COA was leary of working with an independent contractor rather than another government (or non-profit) agency but I am proud to say they have decided to offer me the chance to provide my fall prevention train-the-trainer program! 

My first train-the-trainer program was approved by the Department of Social Services for 3.5 hours of CEU credits in 2007.  I updated the program in 2011 after months of fall prevention and balance training research for my masters degree thesis (The Efficacy of FallProof™ at Home DVD series on Physical Parameters Associated with Fall Risk).  The new program includes physical therapy-based balance training techniques used in the FallProof balance and mobility program.

I updated my train-the-trainer program again in 2012 after writing my first book, The Complete Guide to Fall Prevention.  My book is the compilation of years of hands-on experience as a certified FallProof™ balance and mobility specialist and certified personal fitness trainer specializing in balance impairments among the older adult population.

After becoming a Master Trainer in the evidence-based Stepping On fall prevention program last year, I decided to update my program again (I also updated my book)!   My specialized training and hands-on experience offers insight that will help trainers beyond words on a page because participants will demonstrate practical application of balance skills that prevent falls.

I am confident that my train-the-trainer program is the best fall risk reduction and balance enhancement program out there because I took the best features of the best fall prevention programs and put them in easy to understand language.

Thank you El Dorado Aging Commission for this amazing opportunity to train your trainers in the most current and effective fall prevention and balance training available.

Yay, Roberta!
