Self Protection and Violence Prevention Training for Teens
TEENPOWER Safety workshops are designed to fit the needs of teenagers (ages 13-18 years old). Because of their increasing independence, teenagers face an especially high risk of violence and assault. TEENPOWER workshops give them tools for dealing with verbal attack, peer pressure, and harassment as well as assaults from strangers and acquaintances.
Workshops focus on ways to prevent violence before it happens through boundary setting, awareness and conflict resolution skills. We offer training that includes practicing full-force self defense techniques with a padded instructor as well as our everyday safety skills workshops which focus on awareness and violence prevention skills.
Everyday Safety Skills Programs focus on teaching teens how to handle their growing independence in the world.
Role plays and practice focus on dealing with peer pressure, bullying, how to say no in ways that are effective, emotional triggers and preventing violence from peers and strangers.
Workshops are short (2-5 hours) to fit easily into the busy schedule of a teen.
Full-force Self Defense Programs with the head-to-toe padded instructor are combined with de-escalation and target denial techniques.
Our TEENPOWER classes for girls focus more on rape prevention training. The TEENPOWER classes for boys focus more on de-escalation and violence prevention.
Although they often find themselves in our programs because "my parents made me come," these young people are almost always enthusiastic by the end of their time with us.
Quotes from Teens after our classes:
"TEENPOWER put the understanding into my body that I have the right to say 'NO!' to anyone to keep myself safe, even to people I care about."
"I was afraid I would freeze if anyone came after me. Now I have the skills and belief in myself to know that I can take powerful action."
"I just learned that it can take more courage not to fight than to fight."
