Mr. Deese is available to instruct a rape prevention course for women ages 13 and up. The four-hour course is designed to prepare women to prevent themselves from becoming victims and, if attacked, to defend themselves.

Students will be armed with knowledge about the crime of rape so they may make wise choices in a self-defense situation. They will develop an understanding of rapists by learning the relationships between rapists and their victims, and the different tactics used by rapists. Students will learn how to take precautions, to recognize threats to their safety, and to plan and execute escapes. Students will practice mental preparation and physical resistance techniques so that, if attacked, they may respond with the determination and skills needed to escape.

Mr. Deese is available to teach the course to women groups upon request
