Houston Area Urban League Young Professionals’ March General Body Meeting: Women’s Empowerment Month – 112/113

March 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm 4:00 pm

The focus for this GBM is Women’s Empowerment: Protect and Heal

We will have a panel of guest Houston PD’s finest, A boxing instructor who is trained in Jiu-jitsu, and we are looking for someone in the mental health space.

The police officer will discuss current and highest crimes in Houston and teach us terminology, what to look for/ being aware of your surroundings, best practices, how to protect yourself, who to call, etc.

The boxing instructor will do a demonstration of self defense moves (participation is encouraged)

Lastly, I would like a mental health specialist to speak with the ladies about getting the mental help that they need if they have been a victim of an attack. A part of feeling empowered is also healing. It’s great to have preventive knowledge, but there are those who may have already experienced an offense, so we would like to provide them with information too. I know this can be sensitive so this is where we would like to bring in the professionals. For more information, contact vicepresident@haulyp.org.
