A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls — developed at the Boston Roybal Center for Active Lifestyle Interventions — is an award-winning course for people aged 60 and older that emphasizes practical strategies to manage their fear of falling and to help increase their activity level. Age Well instructor Susan Murray-Grage will teach this free course from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday from January 21 through March 18, 2025, at Deborah Rawson Memorial Library, 8 River Road, in Jericho, Vermont. Class size is limited, and registration is required.
A Matter of Balance is a perfect class for older adults who are concerned about falling or who have fallen in the past; who are interested in improving balance, strength, and flexibility; and who have restricted activities because of falling concerns. During the eight-session course, students will learn to:
- view falls as controllable;
- set goals for increasing activity;
- make changes to reduce fall risks at home;
- exercise to increase strength and balance.
For more information and to register for this free course, contact instructor Susan Murray-Grage at [email protected] or 802-310-6451.

Have you been thinking about how to approach smartphone and social media use with your kids?
Are you considering the right time to get them a phone, or how to enforce boundaries with the one they already have.
Are you wondering what other parents in our community are doing and thinking on this topic?
Let’s get together and talk about it! Underhill Central School parents Andrea Parikh and Kate Yeh will get the conversation going with a four-part discussion series on the book “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” by Johathan Haidt. Andrea and Kate say that although it’s a heavy title, it offers real, actionable solutions. The discussion series is presented in partnership with ReConnect, a growing group of Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District families working to build community around the impacts of smartphones and social media on our kids.
Meetings will be held at Deborah Rawson Memorial Library from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on the following Tuesdays, focusing on different sections of the book:
January 21: Part 1 and Part 2
February 18: Part 3
March 18: Part 4
April 15: Recap and Looking Ahead: What’s next for our community?
Those with a Deborah Rawson Memorial Library card can borrow the book or put it on hold via our online catalog; or on Hoopla (audiobook), or Libby (ebook and audiobook) at https://www.drml.org/collections/elibrary
Please join us for any or all of the gatherings, regardless of how much you have or have not read or listened to the book.
