Crime Avoidance Programs
Tailored Specifically for Organizations who Cater to Vulnerable Persons including Solo Women, Seniors, Infants and Young Children
Laurie’s expertise is highlighting potentially dangerous practices that increase vulnerability to personal safety, which could lead to physical injury or abduction, as well as offering safe alternatives to ensure new parents and seniors are not inadvertently placing their baby or self in harm’s way. Ayers on the Side of Caution (ASC) offers custom-designed seminars for prenatal, infant and elderly education.
ASC offers personal safety programs that teach strategies you can use to avoid situations where self-defense is required. Our courses focus on proactive courses of action, rather than reactive. Criminals prefer easy targets. That means having a personal safety strategy in place before you need it. These are not self-defense classes; they are crime avoidance workshops.
Just a few examples of Education available through ASC:
- Uncovering hidden dangers from Common Practices
- Shopping / Traveling with Baby
- Avoiding risks associated with Routines and Patterns
Providing a safe and secure environment for a totally dependent baby or young child is every parent’s responsibility. The geriatric community often are an underrepresented population deserving of a victim free life. ASC is geared to help provide the tools necessary to enhance your personal safety knowledge, skills and abilities.
Strength and power come from employing the tools ASC teaches. Knowing how to avoid and prevent infant and child abductions is vital to any youngster’s safety. Knowing how to avoid and prevent crimes against the elderly is paramount to the security of all retiree’s. If care givers don’t take responsibility for it, who will? We shouldn’t live life in fear; but denial and naiveté can be the cause of unthinkable devastation to a family.
Courses Offered Specifically for Schools for Presentation to Their Student Body
In addition to crime avoidance for parents of young children and the senior community, Ayers on the Side of Caution also teams with high schools and universities across the country to offer crime avoidance programs. Today’s campuses, like any other community, are faced with the real prospect of crime; awareness prevention better equips every member of the community to protect themselves and deter these threats.
School administrators love these workshops because it allows them to begin a proactive approach toward teaching students about crime avoidance and prevention, which delivers enormous benefit to learning institutions. Additionally these informative presentations can help offset liability risks faced by school districts.
Ayers on the Side of Caution offers interactive training sessions that address personal security techniques geared toward teens while on or enroute to campus as well as targeting young adults living away from home or while in adult social settings.
Students like it … okay let’s face it, high school students may not be overwhelmed at the prospect of sitting through another seminar, but Ayers on the Side of Caution promises to deliver a wealth of information that comes only from experience, and sharing this experience with those most vulnerable is what we are all about. Shouldn’t ASC’s program be introduced at your school?
