Progressive pricing policy: No one is turned away!

Our services provide a professional training, which most participants assure us is not only life changing, but also offers a tangible improvement to their quality of life. Our organization’s general operational costs are not funded by government grants and we depend on course fees and donations to support our programs. The workshop fees listed below represent our break-even costs.  However as a non-profit organization, we do not want money, or lack thereof, to be the reason that you or the important people in your life would be unable to benefit from our training.  

Payment plans can be made by providing us with as many post-dated checks as necessary to cover the fee or fees can be set on a sliding scale.  If you need scholarship support, please enclose a letter briefly describing your situation and check(s) for the amount you can afford.
Whatever your situation may be, we’ll find a solution with you!

 

KEY WORDS:

Everyday Safety Skills include being and acting aware, taking charge of a situation, dealing with bullying or harassment, and getting help in dealing with strangers, bullies, peers, and trusted adults.  Role-playing and various exercises allow hands-on practice, appropriate to the ages and life situations of each participant.

Full Force Self-Defense training covers verbal and physical self-defense skills. This portion of our programs allows participants to practice physical emergency-only skills on an instructor who is fully padded from head to toe.

 
         




 
 
Children: workshops for parents & children ages 6 to 8  French speaking workshops

With the support of our skilled instructors, parents, accompanied by their young children, learn and practice Everyday Safety Skills, these include situations with strangers, social skills with peers and boundary setting with grown-ups.  Through games, stories, role-playing scenarios, and puppet theatre, parents and kids learn while having fun.

“I learned things I didn’t know. Thank you. You have helped our family find the right words and ways to teach our children invaluable lifeskills.  I feel I can easily implement what we practiced in the workshop once we get home. And have fun while doing so!”

Pre-teens: workshops for parents & kids ages 9 to 12
  
12 to 20 children / group  - free for parents
 


This special workshop, for older kids and their parents, allows them to learn Everyday Safety Skills and Full Force Self-Defense in an up-beat and fun atmosphere. Kids and their parents get lots of hands-on practice on how to stay safe in a wide variety of situations, from being on your own to dealing with bullying, peer pressure, setting boundaries with people you know, and knowing how to protect yourself in a dangerous situation.

“My son had been assaulted by bullies so badly that he had to go to the hospital. After that, he often behaved as a victim would and this continuously made him a target. Since taking your workshops, he has stopped 11 incidents with bullies without ever having to resort to violence.”
