Join SETpoint as we explore ways to enhance personal safety
through the basics of Empowerment Self Defense (ESD). ESD is a holistic self
defense strategy that diverges sharply from traditional notions of self
defense. Grounded in academic research, an ESD curriculum offers a
multi-faceted perspective that provides a powerful, coordinated, and
preventative approach to reducing sexual assault and gender-based
violence. SETpoint’s coaching philosophy is trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and inclusive.
In outdoor workshop, we'll introduce core components of
ESD, including:
· Situational
Awareness: learning to recognize unhealthy behaviors and situations;
· Boundary
Setting through voice and stance;
· Effective
concepts for Physical Resistance; and
· Survivor
Advocacy and Resources.
