Sign up for a free self defense workshop!

In acknowledgement of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Engineering Student Government in partnership with UofM Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS) is holding a free empowerment self defense workshop on April 6th from 7pm to 8:30pm on North Campus in Ford Robotics Building 1060.

Empowerment self defense sessions explore the culture of violence, and teach concrete but practical effective skills for personal safety and physical self defense in a wide variety of contexts ranging from harassment to sexual assault. Participants will be able to:
- understand how situational awareness can deter or prevent an attack.
- use verbal skills for assertive communication.
- evade and set boundaries (verbal & physical).
- use practical options to make ourselves more comfortable when uncomfortable situations occur.
- recognize and interrupt unwanted behavior when in social situations, interpersonal/intimate relationships as well as interactions with strangers.

Face masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.
