This is a 3-hour Empowerment Self-Defense class designed specifically for pre-teen and teen girls.

Through activities, role play, the presentation of real-world scenarios (such as dating violence, parties, communication both in person and online, and street harassment), and the practice of verbal and physical techniques, we’ll teach young women how to prevent and interrupt violence. We’ll practice listening to our intuition, assessing our options, asserting boundaries, and using de-escalation and defensive strategies. Our goal is for all participants to leave the class feeling more aware of themselves and their surroundings and more confident in their ability to speak and act assertively in any situation.

Wear comfortable clothes. Water and light snacks will be provided during breaks.

The cost for this session is $30 per participant. Register here, or email lauren@thriveselfdefense.com to reserve your spot; payment may be made at the event.
