Self-Defense for Teen Girls (ages 15+)

For older teens who are exploring on their own, who are looking to keep themselves safer.  You are out more, with friends or by yourselves.  You may have a job, and encountering #MeToo incidents.  Maybe you are concerned about a cultural environment that romanticizes unhealthy relationship behavior and tends to denigrate the abilities and sense of selves of girls, LGBTQ+, non-binary, or trans teens.  In this class, you will learn to recognize “red flags” that someone may mean harm, plan safe exits from iffy situation, practice physical moves (just in case), and learn to find supportive self-care. All in age-appropriate language and concepts.

All participants need to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Masks may still be required.

This class is for all cis and trans girls, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that leans towards the experiences of female-identified.
