Strictly Self Defense
We are excited to team up with Lindsey of Strictly Self Defense. In addition to learning simple self defense techniques, the self defense training will include discussion of age appropriate topics that encourage attendees to make good decisions, to speak up when something does not seem right and to use physical techniques only if there is a real threat.
All attendees must sign the electronic waiver in order to participate. Attendees under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian complete the waiver. Please complete the electronic waiver in advance of the event. The waiver is available at https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/v/strictlysd/.

Caring Conversations Center was created to provide culturally competent, affordable, and compassionate mental health care to children, teens, and adults. We are with you every step of the way on your journey to wellness.
The project: life goals, IRL. We'll teach you a thing or two about managing stress, anxiety, and our big emotions we often feel. Then it's your turn to get creative by making a vision board to focus on your own goals and intentions in the areas you want to focus on!
