Aging Adult Services of Jewish Family Service of Greater New Haven hosted an Escape Alive Self-Defense class at the Jewish Community Center of Greater New Haven in Woodbridge through a program by Jane Doe No More in Partnership with East Coast Training Systems. This class was sponsored by Jane Doe No More and held on August 25, 2024, for women 50 years of age and older at no charge to participants.
