Finding Out About PROWESS

12.30-1pm  Thursday 19^th March Online

We have funding to offer, FREE, a brand new co-produced course that fuses wellbeing and personal safety in 3 locations across Herefordshire and Worcestershire

Join us for a short online session to find out how why this is important, how it works and how it can benefit you, or people that you support.

Recent surveys from across England reveal that women of all ages feel significantly less safe than men. We also know from the World Health Organisation that feeling safe is important for our mental health while stigma discrimination and fear harm it. (WHO)

PROWESS aims to empower women and girls with not only the knowledge and skills to live a safer life, but also the attitudes and confidence to overcome fear.

The new course covers topics highlighted in a number of the surveys where we can make a positive difference including: Staying safe whilst out and about; Public transport; Online safety; Socialising and dating and Staying safe in the workplace

Women and girls attending the course will learn:

• How you think, feel and behave can make a positive difference to you
• About a range of resources that you have or that you can access to help
• A variety of smart preventative actions that you can take to stay safer
• Proven practical skills that you can use if ever you need to defend yourself
• Wellbeing exercises that will build your strength and spirit

Importantly, key features of the course are assertiveness, how to overcome fear and negative thinking, movement,  how to sport the warning signs of danger and where to go to for more advice and support.
