Self Defence for Women
This workshop provides scenario-based mental, verbal, and physical self defence skills for women. Studies show that victims with self-defence training are less likely to be assaulted, more likely to resist, and feel more anger and less fear during an attack. Attackers are ALWAYS to blame for attacks, but self-defence training can make a difference to your personal safety. Mothers and daughters workshops are also available by arrangement.
Communicating with Strength (Assertiveness Skills)
Do you support your family and friends until you have no energy left for yourself? Are you a people-pleaser who will neglect your own needs to please others? Or do you struggle to say no, or express what you need? This workshop is for you. Communicating with strength is a workshop about being yourself, protecting yourself, and building strong, respectful relationships with friends, family, and co-workers, at home, at work, and at school.
Safety and Red Flags for Women
This workshop is for women and teenage girls who want to learn to: Spot red flags and risk factors so they can be vigilant when needed, not all the time, listen to their feelings and distinguish well-founded fear from un-founded anxiety, build everyday safety-habits while maintaining autonomy and freedom, respond to warning signs. This workshop complements the Women’s Self Defence and Communicating with Strength workshops.
