The Safety Team, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2003 by a group of women who were passionate about making a difference in our community. Our core team members share a background in martial arts yet have diverse and extensive professional expertise related to violence against people (clinical psychologist, middle school educator, forensic toxicologist, law enforcement, physical therapy). Our highly trained instructors, along with our countless volunteers and interns, allow us to offer a range of empowerment, violence prevention, and trauma recovery services. In all of our programs, participants find their voice, learn practical safety skills, reclaim a sense of power and control, develop resilience, and as a result, reduce their risk of assault. Over the last 20 years, The Safety Team has offered hundreds of violence prevention workshops and served thousands of Vermont women and girls while also developing the world's first trauma therapy protocol rooted in empowerment self-defense.
