6 Steps to Safety
Over 20% of women in college experience sexual assault, and levels of violence on college campuses continue to rise. According to the CDC, one in four women have experienced sexual assault in their lifetime. And for LGBTQIA+ individuals, these numbers are even higher.
We want the young women in our lives to head off to college and work feeling empowered, prepared, and confident. So, we’re offering a comprehensive, four-hour self-defense class with popular instructor Lauren Roselle, CEO of Esteem Communication.
This training is for you if:
- You want to head to college feeling prepared and empowered.
- You sometimes feel anxious or afraid walking to your car.
- You wouldn’t know what to do if you were being followed.
- You want to refresh your self-defense skills and learn how to be the best ally for others.
- You want to feel more confident interacting with strangers, acquaintances, and friends.
- You want to discover your strengths and how to use them effectively against an attacker.
- You want to learn self-defense in a safe environment surrounded by other young adults.
Throughout the six steps, participants will gain a clear understanding of their own strengths and get to practice realistic physical and verbal role-plays and essential self-defense techniques with a padded mock “assailant.” The confidence gained from this hands-on training is invaluable.

Testimonial:
“In my twenty years as an administrator of various women’s programs I have hosted and attended dozens of self defense trainings. The self defense workshop conducted by Esteem’s Lauren Roselle is by far and away the best. It is truly a comprehensive training. By the end of the fourth hour of the training for beginners, participants really feel like they can take care of themselves in any situation. The feedback from students, staff, and faculty has been exceedingly positive and I am frequently asked to bring this training back so that folks can enroll their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. In fact, I bring Esteem back to campus every quarter so that as many women as possible can experience this effective training. I cannot say enough about this training. I firmly believe that it is one of the most important things that we offer every quarter.”
