On Tuesday, March 19, 2013, ETSU Public Safety Officer Amanda Worley will facilitate “STOP Violence Against Teenage and Adult Women” for the Women’s Personal and Professional Enrichment Lunch Break Series.  Location is the East Tennessee Room, D.P. Culp University Center, at noon.

            The National Self-Defense Institute’s (NSDI) 'S.A.F.E.' PROGRAM is an initiative to STOP Violence Against Teenage and Adult Women.  'S.A.F.E.' (an acronym for Self-defense Awareness & Familiarization Exchange) provides teenage and adult women with information that may reduce their risk of exposure to violence.

            Worley, who is the Tennessee state R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) director and advanced R.A.D. instructor, guides participants through a 13-piece full-color folio packed with safety information every woman should know (a complete folio packet is given to every participant).  Teaching that "90% of self-defense is awareness, risk reduction, and avoiding confrontation; and only 10% is physical", and focusing on both mental and physical preparedness, 'S.A.F.E.' provides women with solid public safety-awareness information to incorporate into their daily lives.

            Join us for this important Women's Personal and Professional Enrichment Series Lunch Break Seminar.  For more information, contact the Women's Resource Center at (423) 439-5772.
