In Collaboration: MyPwr App
Get ready to Meet Your Most Powerful Self!
In collaboration with fodada, MyPwr will offer a free link to the app for all who register for the 14th annual fodada International Women’s Self-Defense Day.
The MyPwr App is a digital classroom offering a comprehensive range of Empowerment Self Defense (ESD) lessons that cover all the necessary skills and principles taught in traditional ESD classes. Using a range of multimedia formats, the MyPwr App caters to all types of learners. Moreover, the App has a supportive virtual community, a resource center, and an extensive library of instructional videos, making it an all-in-one platform for ESD education. ESD is a comprehensive, trauma-informed, and pro-active approach to violence prevention and resistance education that emphasizes awareness and assertiveness skills in addition to verbal and physical strategies. All the strategies are easy to learn and highly effective in preventing or ending an assault. ESD classes are designed to empower students and build their confidence. Using the 5 key components of Think, Yell, Run, Fight, Tell, ESD seeks to reduce and eliminate cases of interpersonal violence.
