Visit us on the web at www.kidpower.org! “How do we protect our children & ourselves against abductions and other violence that we hear too much about in the daily news headlines? ...I want my child to grow up knowing the world is a beautiful place filled with wonderfu...l people... I recently got to know an organization that makes me feel much safer. What I didn’t realize during these classes was that I was also learning the safety skills vicariously and feeling much safer out in the world.” -From a Kidpower Parent •Have you or someone you care about been bullied? »"A bully on the playground grabbed my hair and pulled me backwards. I stopped him with just one move. The yard duty teacher complemented me on how I took care of myself without being a bully too. She said she wished she knew how to do that." •Do you worry about the vulnerability of the disabled, homeless, & disenfranchised? »"This is the first time since I went blind that I feel really good." •Do you want to do something to stop the abuse and exploitation of women & children? »"It has been truly amazing to witness the transformation both in the women & the little kids in a few short hours... drawing on energies they didn't know they had. In all the many years I've been working for people's empowerment, I have never witnessed anything as truly empowering as these workshops." Judy Bloomgardener, Pajaro Valley Shelter Services •Do you ever find yourself wishing you knew how to set strong, clear boundaries with other people’s demands of your time, energy, & affection? »"I give thanks for your training every time I have an adult client who has difficulties setting boundaries. Now I know how to practice these skills with people who need them desperately right in my office."
