NWMAF's annual conference includes an intensive professional development program that takes place before the main conference. This program addresses violence prevention and self-defense instruction. It is a chance for those new to the Self-Defense Empowerment Model to learn how to teach personal safety in a strengths-based and trauma-informed way, and for seasoned instructors in the model to share their skills with each other and learn about innovative work being done in the field. During the main portion of the conference there are several more ESD offerings, including a Model Course taught by a certified instructor. Self-Defense Instructor CertificationThe NWMAF is a credentialing body for self-defense instructors. Certification is an extensive process, and the attendance at the early program of the annual conference is a requirement for certification. Additionally, instructors seeking certification are required to attend the Model Course (see above). Read more about certification requirements. CEUs
