Situational Awareness 101

Situational awareness is not about being paranoid. It is about recognizing potential problems early enough to make better decisions.

This practical course teaches everyday awareness skills for parking lots, stores, travel, public events, workplaces, and other common environments. Students learn how to identify exits, spot environmental concerns, recognize behavior that may require attention, reduce distractions, and create time and distance when something does not feel right.

Through realistic scenarios and practical discussion, students leave with simple habits they can use immediately to better protect themselves, their families, and the people around them.
