Open to people age 15+ for girls/women & nonbinary folks that would be comfortable in a women's class.
Students will learn verbal strategies to deal with situations of disrespect, harassment, and abuse that they face or witness others facing. Through discussions, interactive activities, and hands-on practice, participants will gain skills to recognize potentially dangerous situations, defuse violent situations, as well as defend themselves in the event of physical violence.
This workshop addresses topics that are frequent challenges during this phase of life such as micro-aggressions and harassment. We will practice situational awareness, recognizing red flags in relationships, verbal assertiveness, boundary setting and physical techniques should we ever need them. Violence is always the fault of the aggressor, but there are things we can do to increase our safety and well-being. Empowerment self-defense training reduces the risk of sexual assault for young adults in half, and the risk of attempted sexual assault by two-thirds. Participants report increases in confidence and self-esteem.
