Youth Self-Worth and Self Protection Life Skills workshop

This workshop empowers Youths across the Northern Beaches, fostering self-worth and resilience through self-defence and personal development programs. Led by Mel Thomas, this hands-on workshop teaches personal safety tips and straightforward self-defence techniques that youths can use, regardless of their size or skill level.

Participants learn to:

• Replace fear with confidence
• Trust their instincts and make smart choices
• Use the power of their voice to defuse dangerous situations
• Get away from a situation that doesn’t feel right
• Fight back when needed
• Break the cycle of violence
