presented by Rose City Self Defense

After the election, we noticed an uptick in poor behavior and entitlement from a certain type of person. This class is not designed to make you a ninja but may help you in some situations.

This workshop is designed for all genders to introduce adults to a variety of self-protective options in a discussion format that will help identify their risks, evaluate their strengths, and explore their options for dealing with the threat of violence.

In this 90 minute workshop, we will cover:

Trusting and using your intuition
How bias affects your judgment
Establishing and setting boundaries
Assertive communication
De-escalation strategies
Prevention/mitigation strategies
Benefits and risks of various escape options

Free.

About your instructor: Gloria Harrison has been a part of the sex positive community since 2017 and has been an instructor with RCSD since 2018. She believes fiercely in the value of arming ourselves with knowledge and the confidence that we can protect ourselves should we be confronted with the threat of unwanted harm.

**Note: This class will not introduce physical skills. There will be a 30-person cap for this event so that the instructor can answer questions and concerns.
