Who Should Attend:
The workshop is open to females aged 13 and up. Participants between ages 13 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult female guardian or family member. This is also a very empowering mother/daughter activity.

Participant Feedback:
"After attending Mike’s class, I feel more prepared to identify potential danger and protect myself physically. Mike teaches easy-to-remember strategies that can be used by anyone. I also brought my daughter with me and she was successful at performing all the skills that were taught."
