CVPSD Self Defense Instructor Achieves SafeSport Training Certification

The Center for Violence Prevention and Self Defense (CVPSD) is proud to announce its certification in SafeSport Training, a nationally recognized program dedicated to preventing abuse, harassment, and misconduct in sports and related activities. By voluntarily completing and adhering to SafeSport training requirements, CVPSD reaffirms its commitment to fostering safe, respectful, and inclusive environments for all participants in its programs.


What is SafeSport?

The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 codified the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, as the nation’s safe sport organization. It gave us the scope and authority to resolve abuse and misconduct reports for more than 11 million individuals throughout the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement—from whom we are fully independent.

The Act also charged us with developing and enforcing policies, procedures, and training to prevent abuse and misconduct. The Center’s SafeSport Code governs all participants in the Movement, and our oversight authority helps us ensure all Olympic & Paralympic national governing bodies (NGBs) adhere to Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP) that support athlete safety.


SafeSport Training, developed by the U.S. Center for SafeSport, equips individuals and organizations with the tools to recognize, respond to, and prevent misconduct. The program emphasizes creating a culture of safety through education on topics such as abuse prevention, boundary setting, and effective response strategies. By incorporating these principles, CVPSD enhances its mission to empower at-risk individuals with the knowledge and skills to prevent violence and maintain personal safety.


“At CVPSD, safety and empowerment go hand in hand,” said Will DeMuth, a representative of the organization. “Our certification in SafeSport Training underscores our dedication to not only providing effective self-defense education but also ensuring that our training environments uphold the highest standards of safety and respect.”


CVPSD’s adoption of SafeSport training strengthens its ability to serve diverse communities, including children, seniors, and individuals in at-risk situations. By aligning with SafeSport’s rigorous standards, CVPSD demonstrates its proactive approach to addressing issues of safety and misconduct across all aspects of its programming.


This achievement further positions CVPSD as a leader in violence prevention and self-defense education, fostering trust among its participants and partners. As the organization continues to provide workshops, seminars, and practical training sessions, it remains steadfast in its mission to create safer, more empowered communities.
