Teenpower Introductory Workshop in Los Angeles, CA
“I argued with my parents about going, but I’m glad I went. Now, if someone tries to bother me, I’ll be more able to protect myself.”
This special Teenpower Introductory Workshop is being sponsored and hosted by My Gym Atwater Village in honor of the new growth of the Kidpower Los Angeles office and service capacity.
Teens practice using boundary-setting, conflict resolution, self-protection, and physical self-defense skills to prevent and stop most attacks, bullying, and harassment.
Teens practice using “People Safety” skills to prevent, manage, or leave potentially unsafe situations with people. Using examples relevant to the lives of teenagers, we’ll practice skills to:
- Notice possible problems & respond quickly
- Deal with peer pressure & bullying
- Make safe choices with strangers
- Stay safe from verbal attack
- Stop unwanted attention
- Set clear, appropriate boundaries
- Act aware, calm, and confident
- Manage emotional triggers
- Get help from adults - and persist!
- Say ‘no’ in ways that are effective & practical
- Prevent problems from escalating into fights
- Use physical self-defense appropriately
