Fullpower Personal Safety Workshop for Young Adults in Berkeley, CA
Working “in the community” - which might involve leading kids or other vulnerable people on outings, or providing hospice or health care services, or supporting access to political or educational resources - can be fun, rewarding, and life-changing. And it’s work that comes with its own set of personal safety challenges. If you work as a professional or a volunteer with your community - in social work, health care, education, legal aid, or another area - Fullpower Safety Skills can help you stay safe and have more fun while doing that work. These skills also work if you are in a helping role with family members or friends.
Using examples relevant to adults in these situations, we’ll practice skills to:
- Assess situations and respond quickly
- Project awareness and confidence
- Stop unwanted attention
- Use voice as a safety tool
- Set strong boundaries
- Take charge of emotional triggers
- Get help - and persist until you get it!
- Deal effectively with verbal aggression
- Stop most attacks before they start with a few simple habits
- Use powerful physical self-defense skills that need little strength and noongoing practice. This class includes full force practice with a paddedinstructor.
