The City of Middleton is offering the Stepping On Workshop, an evidence-based program aimed at preventing falls among older adults. The workshop will be held on Thursdays from September 18 to October 30, between 9:30 and 11:30 AM.

According to the organizers, "One in four people age 65 or older has a fall each year. Don’t be one of them! Learn to avoid dangerous and costly falls so that you can keep doing the activities you love to do." The program features weekly sessions with experts covering various topics, as well as strength and balance exercises. Participants will also receive a nutritious snack during each session.

The cost for the seven-week workshop is $35, and attendees must participate in at least five classes to be eligible. Registration closes before the start of the class, and interested individuals are encouraged to register by calling 608-831-2373 before September 11.
