Are you dedicated to helping adults and teens with communication challenges build skills for independence?

Do worries about bullying, abuse, harassment, or assault – in public, at work, at school, at home – stop you or them from making the most of opportunities that could help them grow, learn, and thrive?

This live online special event is for YOU – and for all adult leaders committed to empowering adults and teens who have communication challenges with practical, adaptable skills they can use to take charge of their safety.

This is a unique opportunity to get LIVE individual coaching tailored to your specific needs, provided by a senior team of Safetypowers Trainers!

This workshop is organized with Ability Central for its grantees and their community members.

Program Description

This live online program is tailored for educators, adult services providers, parents, and other caring adults who provide services, care, or mentorship for adults or teens with communication challenges. So, knowing more about who YOU are will help us plan.

During the session, our team of trainers will share skills and strategies, both for use in person and online, around topics such as:

• Bullying prevention
• Abuse prevention
• Assault prevention
• Domestic violence prevention
• Building safe, strong relationships

You’ll learn techniques for adapting skills based on your needs. Safety skills can include:

• Boundary setting
• Advocacy
• Safety in public
• Managing emotional triggers

Throughout the session, the training team will use the Safetypowers Course resources so that you can leave with more familiarity with the course and its resources. You will also have opportunities to get hands-on experiential practices and personalized coaching in ways to support your use of the skills and the Course based on your own unique situations.
