LCC offers free safety, self defense courses today
Lane Community College
Florence Center invites the
community for a conversation
about personal safety and
awareness during a free semi-
nar being held today at the
Florence Campus.
The free seminar includes
workshops that cover the topics
of sexual assault, dating and
domestic violence and basic
self defense from noon to 5
p.m.
The classes are held sepa-
rately throughout the day and
will be taught by LCC public
safety officers. Participants are
welcome to take one or more-
classes being offered that day
depending upon their personal
schedule.
These classes are free and
open to all community mem-
bers — not just LCC students,
said Lt. Lisa Rupp of the LCC
Public Safety Department.
“We provide this training for
free because we feel it is neces-
sary for the community to join
in the conversation about sexu-
al assault and dating and
domestic violence,” Rupp said.
She added that those who
attend will receive information
on prevention techniques, sta-
tistics and information on pub-
lic safety response to various
situations.
The seminar is designed to
be useful to anyone concerned
about the growing threat of per-
sonal violence in our society,
said Russ Pierson, interim
director of LCC Florence.
“The three sessions are
intended to offer real-world
tools to help in three areas of
personal safety: sexual assault
and harassment; dating and
domestic violence; and basic
self defense. Anyone is wel-
come to attend any combina-
tion of these sessions,” Pierson
said.
From noon to 1 p.m., officers
will discuss how to prevent
sexual assaults and harassment,
including what to do to and not
do if you’re sexually assaulted
and how and where to report
incidents.
From 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., the
workshop will focus on dating
and domestic violence aware-
ness. In this class, participants
will learn the warning signs of
abuse, what abuse is, making a
plan to get away safely and
available college and resources.
The final three-hour class is
from 2 to 5 p.m. and covers
basic self-defense training.
After simple warm-up exer-
cises, participants will learn
proper methods of performing a
variety of strikes and escape
techniques, as well as personal
safety techniques to use in
parking lots.
The public safety officers
will also be available to give
examples of scenarios and
answer personal safety ques-
tions for participants.
“LCC’s Public Safety Office
includes a team of highly
trained professionals commit-
ted to serving the greater Lane
Community College communi-
ty — and that definitely
includes Florence,” Pierson
said.
“This is a series of three
trainings they offer occasional-
ly in the metro area,and we at
PeaceHealth to offer Palliative Care classes
Beginning in April, the
PeaceHealth Peace Harbor
Medical Center Palliative Care
program will host a series of
classes designed to train
prospective volunteers to work
directly with palliative care
patients in the community.
The trainings will be held at
Lane Community College and
include an overview of pallia-
tive care, the role of the pallia-
tive care team and the volun-
teer, communication and spiri-
tuality.
Palliative care programs
serve patients who have been
diagnosed with a life-limiting
illness and desire alleviation of
symptoms — whether social,
physical, emotional or spiritu-
al. Patients can receive pallia-
tive care at any time and at any
stage of illness, whether termi-
nal or chronic.
Though both palliative care
and hospice care programs
focus on pain and symptom
management, palliative care
programs also include treat-
ment options.
“Florence is a town that
thrives on volunteerism,”says
Palliative Care Medical Social
Worker Donna Becker. “The
start of our new palliative care
program presents another great
opportunity for Florence resi-
dents to give back to their com-
munity.
Palliative care strives to
improve a patient’s quality of
life by offering comfort and
care in times of pain and volun-
teering for a program such as
this can be incredibly reward-
ing, according to Becker.
Palliative care volunteers
will be trained in a number of
roles: providing companion-
ship and support to patients,
providing respite care to care-
givers, and additional acts of
service such as running errands
for families, providing trans-
portation, preparing meals or
doing light household work.
Patient support volunteer
classes will be limited to 12
members. The dates and times
of the classes will be deter-
mined by participant feedback.
Anyone interested in becom-
ing a palliative care volunteer
can contact Donna Becker at
dbecker@peacehealth.org.
the LCC Florence Center are
really happy they have offered
to bring these trainings to our
community, too.
Sexual assault, domestic vio-
lence and harassment of all
types are an unfortunate shad-
ow that hangs over many of us
these days, and these classes
offer hope, help and tools that
can make a real difference in
our personal and communal
safety.”
The classes are free.
