SKILLS WORKSHOP: DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES
Saturday September 19 2026
1:00pm – 3:00pm
$40.00 plus tax per person

Suitable for Adults and Teens
This workshop will focus on strategies to identify, avoid, and de-escalate violence. Topics covered will include Situational Awareness, Threat Identification, Verbal De-escalation, Boundary Setting, Distance Management, and more. Content will include both discussions and scenario practice.
This is an excellent precursor to October’s workshop – Defensive Maneuvers – where we will dive into more physical responses to violence when avoidance and de-escalation aren’t options.
