Description
These girls are exploring on their own, and looking more to their peers for standards for boundaries and relationships. They are out more, with their friends or by themselves. They may be riding a bus solo, or going to Bumbershoot with a few buddies. They are out more with friends, teams, bands. They (or their friends) are beginning to drive. They are beginning to date. They may have part-time or summer jobs. They are exploring the world, mostly without direct adult supervision. Maybe you are dismayed to notice that your formerly confident girl seems to have become more withdrawn and self-conscious of her appearance and her peers’ opinions. On top of that, you may be concerned about peer pressure and a cultural environment that romanticizes unhealthy relationship behavior and tends to denigrate girls’ abilities and sense of self. They could use some skills to help augment the experience they are beginning to acquire. In this class, your emerging teen girl will learn to recognize “red flags” that someone may mean harm, plan safe exits from iffy situation, practice physical moves (just in case), and learn to find supportive self-care. All in age-appropriate language and concepts.

Strategic Living, LLC, has been helping women, girls, and boys discover their inner super-sheros since 2003. We have taught self-defense to women from six to senior, from sorority sisters to grandmothers and business executives, homeless women and those in transitional housing, and just about everyone in between. We have held classes for dorms and sororities, law firms, restaurant employees, manufacturing facilities, medical clinics, YMCA and YWCA groups, Angeline's Center (homeless women's day shelter), Opportunity Place and other transitional housing sites, the Veterans' Administration Medical Center, Providence Everett Medical Center, girl scout troops, book clubs, and groups of families and friends who wanted to be safer.
