The bystander intervention training consists of two virtual 1-hour sessions provided by DefendYourself.org, with 20 students attending each session. The self-defense training, which will focus primarily on women’s self-defense, is hosted by Tracey Seymour, co-founder of Larchmont Self-Defense Systems.
