Online Presentation Courses

Anti-Victim.Org Community Education Programs are currently offered in locations where we have staff and volunteers physically available to provide the presentations. To reach the broadest possible audience for this information, we are also working to make our program materials available through a series of online awareness courses available for free to registered users. Our online courses will also serve to provide additional information for attendees to our community meetings by offering additional details, observations and reference information that we cannot include in our on-site programs due to time constraints and presentation media. The goals of our awareness programs are to provide a foundation for turning off "auto-pilot" in everday situations and to enable personal security discussions with alternative concepts and terms to the typical atmosphere of fear. The course materials focus on how to reduce the potential of becoming a target for criminals by being aware and prepared to act to avoid and escape from a potentially violent encounter. Our online education program is separated into four distinct courses: My Security Sense - This course underscores how trusting your feelings in different situations lies at the heart of your personal sense of security. By choosing to use your feelings to guide your thoughts and actions, you can take control of your own security and reduce the potential of becoming a victim of violent crime. My Security Zones - How you feel and react to a potentially violent situation depends on where the assailant is within your personal space. This course helps you identify your security zones, how those zones can change in different cirumstances, and reinforces the importance of remaining aware as the best way to avoid the assailant. My Security Devices - From emergency whistles to tasers, there are a variety of different types of personal security devices on the market today that claim to offer you safety if you find yourself in a potentially violent encounter. This course reviews the different types of security devices available, how any why they work, the security zones where they are effective, and their pros and cons. My Security Attitude - Being prepared to act, to avoid a potentially violent encounter, is an attitude of responsibility, personal worth and control. This course brings together your security sense, zones and devices into possible situations and examines many of the common sense choices that may be available to avoid or escape. The exercises that follow are intended to help enhance your ability to develop second nature responses.
