Classes for Children and Teens
Age-appropriate classes teach children and teens to call attention to threatening situations, distinguish between safe and unsafe adults, physically and verbally protect themselves, and report potential danger to a safe adult.
Teen classes focus on personal safety, assertiveness in dating relationships, and managing increasing independence. Teens have the opportunity to practice appropriately asserting themselves and asking for what they need in situations where they feel uncomfortable. They also receive training on assessing situations for danger, and learn how to defend themselves physically and verbally if necessary. They have the opportunity to customize a scenario that reflects a source of anxiety in their own life.

**** We also run a TeenSAFE course for teens ages 10-13. Teens ages 14 and up can enroll in our Women's Basics or Men's Basics Course. Please give us a call at (781) 321-3900 if you are interested in enrolling your child in either of these courses.
We also run individual private lessons for kids. Additionally, if you know a group of kids or teens (clubs, girl/boyscout troupes, groups of friends) interested in taking a course with IMPACT, we offer private lessons for groups. Please call the office at (781) 321-3900 to set up a private lesson.
