Our 3-hour Zoom workshops are for a maximum of 6 girls  and go deeper into awareness and assertiveness. We ask for advance information from the students so the discussions and scenarios are targeted to their life routine and situations, including how to be safe on the internet, how to trust their intuition, and where they can go to be safe (neighborhood specific).

With fewer students, the assertiveness role-plays are in greater depth than our live classes and in lieu of the hand-to-hand fighting. The instructors do teach and coach defense moves (blocks and free hand/free limb/vital area) in the zoom classes.

Overview

During these years, there are special concerns and dangers that girls will face concerning unclear ideas of others’ intentions, people’s reactions to their physical development, being approached by predators, or being pulled into dangerous situations. There can be a tremendous amount of conflict around trying to please their friends, parents, and themselves, especially with unrefined communication skills.

This workshop is designed to help them develop their intuitive skills for life and safety. We will share how to speak up in a way that does not have them appear like a victim or a challenge. We will empower them with real-life self-defense skills to stop someone from harming them.

Workshop Outline

Awareness

During this discussion period, we share how to be safe when at home, on the street, at school, or in play. We will also explore the how predators set up their victim and how to create a personal safety plan.

  • Having a plan for safety
  • Understanding how assaults occur
  • Critical viewing skills (how to objectively view something and not be pulled by what you see or hear)
  • Doing the right thing, even if a friend disagrees
  • Listening to intuition
Assertiveness

André Salvage and Associates will also share with these young girls how to properly assert yourself, set boundaries and educate people on how to treat you. Through creative and real-life role-plays we will share how to use their body and voice to avoid and de-escalate conflicts without appearing like a victim or a challenge.

  • Real life role-play to practice assertiveness
  • Learning to set boundaries
  • Educating friends, parents, and teachers on how to treat them, without being disrespectful
  • Speaking up when something is wrong
  • Bringing attention to uncomfortable situations (screaming if necessary)
  • Using your voice and body correctly and appropriately
Self-Defense

There is no better way to handle confrontation than not to be afraid of confrontation that may arise. André Salvage and Associates will introduce self-defense in a way that not only is effective but gives young girls the choice to make the right decision about a particular situation.

  • Stopping someone her age or older from harming her
  • Stopping adults from abducting or harming her
  • Knowing when and when not to use self-defense
  • Free Hand, Free Limb, Vital Area
