S.A.F.E. Program

S.A.F.E. (Self-defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange)

"If you were targeted for a violent attack, you are only guaranteed there will be one person there to defend you and that person is you. YOU are your own best defense".

Dual Purpose:

1. To prevent crimes of sexual violence in our communities through programs of education training, focusing primarily on awareness and prevention;

2. To educate women about realistic options that will help them avoid, escape and survive assaults if they do occur.

S.A.F.E. is an unparalleled 2-hour educational awareness, crime-victim prevention program - encompassing Strategies, Options, and Prevention - that provides teenaged & adult women with information that may reduce their risk of exposure to violence and introduces them to the physical aspects of self-defense.

Teaching that "90% of self-defense is awareness, risk reduction, and avoiding confrontation; and only 10% is physical"; and focusing on both mental and physical preparedness, "S.A.F.E." provides women with solid public safety-awareness information to incorporate into their every day lives.
