CARES (Community Aging and Retirement Services) and Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point are looking for volunteers to help provide the program, A Matter of Balance, to assist people in managing concerns about falls and increase physical activity.
The class is conducted in eight two-hour sessions and uses group discussion, problem-solving strategies, videos and gentle physical exercise.
Coaches need good communication and interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, dependability and willingness to lead small groups of older adults.
Training involves one eight-hour session. A coach’s handbook is provided. Coaches are required to lead the classes in pairs, so bring a friend.
A training class will take place on March 31 at 4:30 p.m., at the Rao Musunuru MD Conference Center, 14100 Yosemite Drive in Hudson.
For information and to register, call (727) 862-9291, ext. 2008.
