Self-Defense for Girls and Moms - Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18 - an 8-hour, 2-day intensive

Self-Defense for Girls & Moms is a two-day, 8-hour workshop designed to give girls and their moms practical physical, verbal, and emotional self-defense skills they can use in everyday situations.

Together, moms and daughters will learn and practice ways to recognize uncomfortable or unsafe situations, communicate boundaries clearly, use their voices with confidence, and respond when someone does not respect a boundary. The workshop also introduces physical self-defense skills in an age-appropriate, supportive environment.

The goal extends beyond learning physical techniques. Participants build skills around awareness, assertiveness, boundary-setting, self-trust, and knowing when and how to seek help—giving girls opportunities to practice using their own voices while equipping moms to reinforce those skills at home.

Facilitated by Tonya Valadez, this is a hands-on workshop with opportunities for moms and daughters to learn and practice together. Participants attend both days, 11:00 AM–3:00 PM each day (Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18), for a total of 8 hours.
