IMPACT
Violence Prevention
IMPACT Violence Prevention offers comprehensive violence prevention programs such as personal safety, assertiveness and self-defense training. We connect our empowerment self-defense training method to a broader change strategy, incorporating a more explicit racial & disability justice analysis into our work to end gender-based violence.
IMPACT Violence Prevention is an international affiliation of independent chapters. Each IMPACT chapter has its own organizational structure and programmatic focus. All IVP affiliates abide by the ESD Code of Ethics.
For many who have experienced family violence, sexual assault, or other trauma, the experience of being physically powerful in the face of a simulated assault is a unique healing experience. IMPACT instructors are sensitive to abuse and related issues.
IMPACT recognizes that the majority of sexual assaults and other violations are committed by people close to us. IMPACT teaches effective strategies for addressing situations in which the person not respecting our boundaries is a dating partner, family member, or other familiar person.
IMPACT: SELF-DEFENSE FOR EVERYONE
IMPACT chapters are committed to the belief that people are powerful and capable of protecting themselves. IMPACT teaches effective self-protection skills that work for people of different ages, sizes, and physical abilities.

IMPACT is committed to a teaching environment with women in leadership roles.
COLLABORATING TO PREVENT VIOLENCE AND SUPPORT SURVIVORS
