A 3-Part Personal Protection Program for Teenage Girls

As you contemplate the reality of your teenage daughter soon dating, driving, and attending unchaperoned parties and events, it’s difficult to avoid the uncomfortable thoughts of the risks and dangers she may face.

Parking area threats, aggressive dating situations, and sexual assault seem to be at the top of the list for most parents.

Unfortunately, these concerns are well-founded. Studies show that the teenage years into early adulthood represent the most dangerous period for girls.

Arm your daughter with what she’ll need to protect herself.

Whether on the street, on a date, or at a party, to be fully prepared, she’ll need a solid foundation of up-to-date, accurate information and skills—one without gaps, myths, or misinformation.

The problem is that most parents are not well enough informed about these topics to provide their daughters with the foundation they’ll need.

If you’re like most, the best you can do is offer her the standard warnings and safety precautions: stay close to your friends, pay attention to your surroundings, and be wary of strangers.

Though this advice is certainly helpful (and necessary), it’s not enough. For your daughter to be safe (and for you to feel more at ease), she must not only understand the basic “awareness and prevention” measures but also know how to manage her safety if her prevention efforts fail.

For most parents, providing a complete repertoire of the necessary safety strategies is a daunting and often unrealistic task. Rather than attempt all this on your own, why not turn to an expert?

For more than 20 years, I’ve been working with parents to help them keep their daughters out of harm’s way.

One of the things I’ve learned is that teenage girls are fully capable of managing their own safety. But only if they have a clear understanding of what they’re up against and are armed with the necessary information and skills to handle it.

My “Safety Savvy 101”  Workshop will provide everything she needs.

Safety Savvy 101 is a compact, 90-120 minute workshop that blends lecture, discussion, demonstrations, and physical, hands-on instruction.

Here’s what your daughter will learn:

• The ABC’s of awareness and prevention
• Common ploys and deceptions predators use to make her vulnerable
• How her communication style can get her into trouble…or out of it
• Why privacy is sometimes the enemy of safety
• How she can defuse a volatile situation before it escalates to violence
• Common mistakes teenage girls make when it comes to their personal safety
• Whether or not she should carry a personal safety device
• When to resist… and when resistance is a bad idea
• A 3-step plan to deal with aggression
• How to fight back and escape when there are no other options
• And much more.

In short, my Safety Savvy 101 Program will give your daughter a solid base of practical, tested, real-world knowledge. The kind she’ll need — and you’ll want her to have — to stay safe now, throughout her college years, and for the rest of her life.

In Addition…

Beyond the workshop itself, I have included TWO additional components to create a more robust learning experience.

1. The Safety Savvy Review Course

This is a 4-week follow-up email review program that acts as an extension to the Safety Savvy 101 workshop.

It has been designed to remind her of the key principles and safety strategies she will have learned, reinforce the main themes presented, and encourage her to stay on her toes whenever she is out and about.

2. The Safety Savvy Parent Guide

Designed specifically for parents, this guide includes a series of reference articles aimed at enhancing YOUR understanding of the central issues your daughter may face. Each article emphasizes how parents can help their daughters avoid common mistakes and encourage smart decision-making when it comes to their safety.

Together, the workshop, review course, and parent guide create a powerful assembly of tools to ensure your daughter is equipped to deal with whatever might come her way.

The ultimate objective of this program is to arm your daughter with everything she needs to manage her safety while building self-confidence, self-reliance, and a heightened sense of personal independence.
