The Stepping On program in Fitchburg, offered by the Fitchburg Senior Center and Safe Communities of Madison-Dane County, aims to reduce falls among older adults. Wisconsin has the highest rate of fall-related deaths for people aged 60 and above. The program provides strategies for avoiding falls, such as balance and strength exercises, home safety checks, medication review, and more. Guest experts such as physical therapists, pharmacists, low vision experts, and community safety officers provide falls prevention information and strategies. 

The workshop is designed for people aged 60 or older who have fallen or have a fear of falling. Participants can expect to leave with more strength, better balance, and increased confidence and independence. The cost is $35, and the program runs for seven weekly, two-hour sessions from April 13 to June 1, 2023. Start time: 11:00 a.m. This is an online virtual series.
