08 September, 2022

Description

Join us as we celebrate the return of our community self-defense class in Copley Square on Thursday, September 8. Self-defense training provides integral skills to stay calm and focused in unsafe situations. Participants leave these classes feeling empowered, assertive, aware and supported. We began these classes in 2013, following the death of a longtime Healthworks Back Bay member. It was clear that our community, especially women, needed more opportunities to learn safety skills, support and resources for protection against violence. We remain committed to helping to improve the safety and well-being of everyone in our community, and are pleased to be partnering with IMPACT Boston. This free class will cover: Conflict de-escalationAssertive communicationVerbal self-defense strategiesPhysical self-protection skillsConfident body languageAwareness and avoidance of potentially dangerous situationsCheck-ins and onsite registration begin at 5:45pm; class will start at 6pm. All are welcome! Class is subject to photography. Please let the instructor know if you do not want to be photographed.
