Workshop Descriptions Level I Workshop: The 2.5-Hour Introductory Women's Empowerment Self-Defense Program This beginner workshop utilizes both large and small group instruction. By adhering to a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio, The Safety Team's trauma-informed trainings focus on boundary setting, affirmative consent, and relevant sexual assault information, as well as the mental and physical skills of Empowerment Self-Defense. The overarching goal of these large-group sessions is to help women discover their collective voice, address victim-blaming by redirecting the responsibility for all assaults onto the perpetrators, improve women's sense of power and control, and, as a result, reduce the likelihood of sexual assault and violence.

This workshop fosters a sense of empowerment and the ability to make proactive choices regarding one's safety. The resulting confidence is particularly beneficial for young women as they go through high school, head off to college and experience new environments
