WATERVILLE — A self-defense course for women will be held this fall in four sessions at Waterville Fire Department,
The Rape Aggression Defense System is taught by police officers Jen Weaver and Galen Estes, as well as Meg Hatch, an advocate for Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center in Winthrop.
The comprehensive course teaches participants about awareness, prevention and risk reduction and then progresses to the basics of hands-on defense training.
The instructors are nationally-certified. Students are provided with a workbook/reference manual that outlines the entire physical defense program. Graduates may use the manual to attend future classes, free-of-charge. The 12-hour course will be 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Those wanting more information, may call Weaver at the Police Department at 680-4700 or e-mail her at jweaver@waterville-me.gov
