Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Support Office Presents …

EmpowerU: Self-Defense for Everyone is a research-based and trauma-informed empowerment self-defense program founded in 2014 by Rachel Piazza. This workshop goes beyond simply teaching participants how to fight off an attacker, also focusing on boundary setting and regaining control. Participants learn to build healthier relationships and navigate difficult interactions with more ease. EmpowerU challenges the victim-blaming status quo and supports students in building the confidence needed to set boundaries and navigate challenging interpersonal situations. Join the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Support Office during Sexual and Gender Wellness Week and empower yourself to stand strong in your boundaries!
