SETpoint

We envision a time in which our most-vulnerable community members will no longer be victims of sexual violence and physical assault.

You can hear more at: https://www.wesa.fm/post/pittsburgh-nonprofit-teaches-self-defense-those-risk-gender-based-violence The overarching goal of SETpoint is to offer Empowerment Self Defense curricula that blend confidence-building and feelings of enhanced control over one’s life with physical skills for self-defense, a powerful combination to reduce the risk of being victimized. SETpoint offers

programs that are specifically tailored to the needs of targeted and marginalized communities. By training and using instructors from diverse demographic backgrounds, SETpoint builds proximity, sensitivity, and credibility in messaging and approach. Our curricula are survivor-focused, trauma-informed, and gender inclusive. Implementation of these curricula as part of longer-term integrated programming will result in increased confidence, awareness, self-respect, and self-protection against personal and societal risk factors.
