In addition to participating in the 2-hour presentation in person, the individuals will be given a Case study to take with them to consider and develop a plan of remediation for fear of falling.  They will call in for a conference call to be held 2 weeks later in which they will share with peers their remediation ideas and discuss options with peers.  The participants will then be called upon to share the progress they have made in implementing the action into their professional practice they committed to the day of the training.  This will be a “lunch and learn” opportunity.
