Lesson 8: Sharing the Information

In the last lesson, we looked at "Fear of Falling." In this lesson, we learn how important it is to "share the information."

It's not true for everyone, of course, but some older persons are reluctant to say anything if they take a fall or begin experiencing dizzy spells or other symptoms that could indicate a higher risk of falling. They worry that if people know about these changed circumstances they will be forced to move, or they'll soon become less independent.
