The S.A.F.E. Message


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

 

S.A.F.E. Program

Dual Purpose:

1. To prevent crimes of sexual violence in our communities through programs of education and 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.

Program Details

 

NSDI's 'S.A.F.E.' PROGRAM is an initiative to STOP Violence Against Teenaged and Adult Women.

'S.A.F.E.'(an acronym for Self-defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange) is an unparalleled 2-hour educational awareness, crime-victim prevention program – encompassing Strategies, Techniques, 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.

"View yourself as capable not powerless in these unsafe times – capable of being your best defense when it comes to safety and security for you and your family… by being vigilant, being prepared, taking protective measures, and pre-planning your own emergency response plans, you can be empowered to protect your family and ultimately make our nation a safer place."

- The 17-minute motivational video that is shown as part of every program (which is narrated by Emmy Award winning actress Sharon Gless of the 'Cagney & Lacey' TV series

 - A 2 hour familiarization with what physical self-defense is about.
