S.A.F.E. Program

The S.A.F.E. (Self-defense Awareness Familiarization Exchange). Program is a 2 hour self defense program that serves a dual purpose:

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

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

S.A.F.E. is a unique course that provides participants with valuable information on how to become more aware of their surroundings. Participants will learn five simple defensive techniques. The program is taught by certified Drexel University Department of Public Safety personnel.

S.A.F.E. educates women on how to protect themselves from crime and introduces pre-basic physical training familiarization methods which are non-strenuous. Each participant will be given a portfolio with more awareness information than is contained in the brief course.

The S.A.F.E. program is based upon the following ideas: Violent crimes are crimes of opportunity, and when you remove the element of opportunity, you reduce the risk of attack. Ninety percent of self-defense is mental preparedness, ten percent is physical and YOU are your best defense.

Come and let's have some fun while learning how to keep ourselves…
