The seminar will provide you with essential skills to predict, identify, and prevent becoming a target of violence. The Situation Effective Protection System is a framework designed to help you understand how various violent situations evolve and develop. The primary focus of the program is to teach you how to predict, identify, and proactively avoid such situations.
Without the ability to foresee and recognize potentially violent situations before they escalate, you may find yourself unprepared and caught off guard, significantly reducing the effectiveness of any physical response. By acquiring knowledge about the predictors and indicators that precede violent confrontations, you will have the opportunity to disengage from or de-escalate them before they escalate physically. Alternatively, you can position yourself better—physically, mentally, and emotionally—to handle such situations.
This seminar cost is funded by the Asian Community Fund of The Boston Foundation.
