Steps-2-Balance Toolkit

Your Guide to Steps-2-Balance

Steps-2-Balance (S2B), which takes place May 21-27, 2023, is VeDA’s annual call to all “Vesties”--those living with a vestibular condition, their loved ones, and the healthcare professionals who treat them, to support each other on their journey towards better balance. S2B is about taking a step forward in your recovery, which makes it the perfect event for vestibular clinicians, support groups, researchers, and industry partners to get involved.

Here are some ideas and tools to get you started:

Host a Pop-up Event

One way to celebrate Steps-2-Balance in your local community is by hosting a pop-up event. You can encourage community members to join together in a walk or participate in another safe and accessible activity to improve their health and balance. And don't forget your flamingo decor! A flamingo-themed photo wall is a great way to get your community excited.

You can request materials and educational resources for a pop-up event by emailing [email protected].

Raise Funds to Help Vestibular Patients

You can make a difference with a Steps-2-Balance fundraiser. By doing so, you will help make sure that people with vestibular disorders get the information and medical care that they need!

Make sure you are REGISTERED for Steps-2-Balance. When you register you will be given your own webpage where people can donate. You can customize this with your own Logo, photos, and information. That way when people donate to your page, they know you were the one who sent them!

When you are struggling with a vestibular disorder, it can feel like your world will never be balanced again. It’s important to stay active, but it can be hard to keep moving and take the next step. That is why the vestibular community comes together every year to celebrate Steps-2-Balance (S2B), happening May 21-27.

S2B is the Vestibular Disorders Association (VeDA)'s annual online event that celebrates taking a "step" in your journey back to balance. This year, we will be joining the celebration by [INSERT ACTIVITY. Example: "...hosting a pop-up educational event with a flamingo-themed photo wall in our clinic lobby" or "...creating an online fundraising team for VeDA."] You are invited to join us!
