Your teens have gained independence; do they know how to handle it? Put them into this dynamic program so you can be at ease knowing they are out there armed with the skills to recognize, avoid and manage dangerous situations.

Safeteen© is a dynamic, experiential four-hour program specifically designed for teenagers from 12 - 17 years.  During the four hours the teens will learn the importance of setting personal boundaries and how to protect them.  The confidence they gain from this course will set them up for success in every area of their life.

Program Components

Facilitated Discussion
The first component is a facilitated discussion in a classroom setting that will cover common sense safety practices specific to teen lifestyles. Students will create an individual safety plan that will cover
   • how to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations 
   • what to do if they find themselves in one
   • handling negative peer pressure.

Hands-on Training
The participants will learn simple and essential physical skills covering what to do if attacked from the front and back and how to get out of holds.

Mental Toughness©
This session will teach confidence and self-esteem building tools as well as the skills they need to know to prevent ‘freezing’ or ‘panicking’.

Experiential Learning
We believe in experiential learning – therefore, the last component is the “Padded Attacker”.  It is one thing to wonder how you would react to a dangerous situation; it’s another to know how you would react. The teens will get an opportunity to test their skills in a simulated attack with a padded opponent!  Your teen will leave this class with
confidence, knowing that they can implement their safety plan.
