Self-Defence Seminar: 16 Days of Activism

To mark the United Nations' 16 Days of Activism, Mental Health Services is hosting an empowering self-defence seminar led by Renshi Stephan Roy, a 3rd-degree black belt in Mugen Budo Ju Jutsu and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt. This seminar provides a safe space to learn practical safety skills while building confidence, setting boundaries, and feeling a sense of belonging. 

Strength Through Skill and Confidence

Let's be clear: sexual and gender-based violence is never your fault. This seminar is about giving you practical tools to feel more confident and empowered in your daily life. Learn boundary-setting skills and self-defence techniques in a supportive space designed for people of all identities and abilities.
