A unique Personal Safety & Awareness Training
Our anti-bullying workshop provides kids 6-12 and teens 12-17 with a profound understanding of their innate power and capabilities. They learn new skills to disarm, deescalate and be proactive in the face of potentially harmful social & physical interactions through simple and effective communication, awareness and personal safety tactics.
The workshop teaches kids & teens to go on the offense using verbal and nonverbal communication skills. Both kids and parents leave with a new perspective on bullying, peer pressure and boundaries, as well as with concrete tools to utilize in their everyday lives.
