to help students deal successfully with bullying.
During the workshop, “self-protection” strategies are taught; including ways of walking assertively, the CAP yell, and other
self-defense movements.
Through discussion of scenarios of an assault by a known adult, skill are taught to prevent sexual assault and to empower
