Girls' LEAP Teaches Girls how to De-escalate a situation

The problem...
24.4% of girls grades 9-12 reported being in a physical fight in the last 12 months

The Girls' LEAP Difference...

"I learned that whenever you might feel uncomfortable you don't have to resort to a physical defense method.  You can always talk it out with the person so it wouldn't have to escalate as much."

At Girls' LEAP we develop girls' conflict resolution skills and teach violence de-escalation techniques. Results from our programs indicate that 95% of our girls learn to demonstrate a diverse and tangible skill set to assess risk and address conflict.
