EMPOWERMENT SELF-DEFENSE
You’ll walk away with tools to apply to a range of interpersonal situations, from physical skills to verbal, emotional and social techniques like assertiveness, de-escalation, situational awareness and self-care practices for healing from violence. Each session is facilitated through a trauma-informed lens and centers the experiences of those most at risk for violence.
Register for one workshop or the entire series. These community workshops are free to NYC residents!
