Mother/Daughter Assault Prevention Training

Prepare for the sometimes dangerous realities of life beyond Cretin-Derham Hall. This training is based on the “Not Me!” book, written by Al Horner. It provides prevention information, tactics and tools to help avoid potentially dangerous situations. Topics include high-risk factors involved in assaults, what type of person attacks, when and where attacks often occur, and how to recognize the sequence of an assault in order to stop them early. Class also covers escape techniques from situations that cannot be avoided.

The class will be held on Sunday, April 15, 2018 from 12:30-3:30 p.m. in the Griep Family Gymnasium. Please enter through the Activity Center doors on Albert Street. Check-In will start at 12:15 p.m.

This class is for Mother/Daughter pairings from the Class of 2018 and 2019.

The fee to register is $10/person (normally $79/person, but offered at a reduced rate thanks to a CDH parent donation). Class size is limited to the first 50 mother/daughter duos or 100 individuals to register. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend with their mothers or another trusted female adult. The training is expected to fill fast, and registrations will be first-come, first-served. Click here to register online today!
