Join us for an informational and hands-on self-defense and bystander awareness workshop with expert Caren Camblin! During this session of Literally How, we’ll go over practical ways to keep yourself physically and emotionally safe, situational awareness tips, and how and when to step in as a bystander.
This session is built for new adults, young adults, teens, and tweens; all who wish to participate are welcome. Please register ahead so we're prepared to welcome every participant.
