Situational Awareness and More
Everyone knows that we need to pay attention to the world around us in order to stay safe. But do we know what to be watching for, exactly? How do we prevent ourselves from becoming a target of crime? And what do we do if we do become a target?
​
The course Personal Risk Recognition & Response is about learning to recognize risk and mitigate them with critical risk assessment tools and strategies, in order to maximize personal safety in an ever-changing world. The earlier we can recognize danger and address it, the greater our chances of not just surviving, but thriving!
​
Situational awareness is a skill that is becoming increasingly important as crime rates increase. It is about detecting behaviours in others that indicate they are about to do something against another person. Personal Risk Recognition & Response takes this one step further on how to avoid and mitigate potentially dangerous situations before they turn dangerous.
