ESD Australia – Wisdom for Women’s highest aspiration is to facilitate holistic learning programs encouraging deep integration of knowledge, skills, and deep feelings of ownership of a renewed sense of self-efficacy and self- empowerment.

ESD Australia offers individualised violence prevention programs that teach people of all ages psychological, verbal, emotional and physical skills to prevent assault and other forms of abuse. These skills are long-lasting and are relevant in every aspect of daily life.

ESD can play an effective role in assaults caused by intimate partners, familiars, associates and strangers. The training improves your ability to recognise abusive or threatening behaviour, learn how to more accurately assess ambiguous situations, learn verbal assertiveness skills which enhances your ability to stop assaults in the early stages before it escalates into physical danger. Participants practice with each other how to set boundaries and communicate their own needs and wants.

ESD Australia does not discriminate and believes that we all have a right to defend ourselves from oppressiveness ‘regardless if its from individuals or from governing bodies.
