That’s why she and our team are happy to take part in and sponsor a wide variety of events in and around South Portland. You can learn about our upcoming events below, and as you’ll see, you don’t need to be a patient to participate! Dr. Paret would love to meet you and hopes you enjoy the wide variety of activities highlighted on this page.
Self Love Self Defense Workshop https://hustleflowstudio.com
This valentine's day season, show yourself some love & join Mind Your Mouth for a powerful
workshop
all
about
empowerment and self defense.
Training is provided by PAC (Prevention.Action.Change.) PAC describes their teaching philosophy
as
Empowerment Self
Defense (ESD) like this:
'?ESD offers training in assessment as well as verbal and physical prevention, intervention,
response,
and healing.
Developed over the past 40 years with more than 100 current practitioners nationwide,
Empowerment
Self
Defense training
includes boundary setting, assertive communication and de-escalation, and goes beyond stranger
attacks
to expressly
address violence by partners, acquaintances, and other known assailants. ESD increases awareness
of
the
social context
of violence experienced by women, children, the LGBTQ community, people of color, those with
disabilities, and other
groups, promoting both bystander intervention and community action for social change. ESD is
trauma-informed and
committed to ending victim-blaming and supporting healing for survivors of violence.'
