Guides
The guides below contain resources in a printable format for quick reference to an abbreviated list of the services offered for falls prevention through our WNC Fall Prevention Coalition (most are free, low-cost, or covered by insurance). They are handed out at Building Better Balance (BBB) Screenings, to physicians in the Primary Care Fall Prevention Practice Improvement program, at Matter of Balance workshops, and distributed at sites that promote fall prevention practices.

Check out the CGEC online course portal through Greensboro AHEC for a completely translated Spanish version of the Falls Prevention Course for Community Health Workers! The course is free under the current CGEC grant so we want to get as many folks enrolled! Can you help spread the word? http://www.aheconnect.com/cgec/courses.asp The course is based on the National Council on Aging curriculum which was developed in partnership with PHI the Paraprofessional Health Institute. Thank you for your help and support to engage as many people as possible in fall prevention!
