What does Prepare do?
We’re an organization offering comprehensive violence prevention through a variety of different programs – all featuring realistic scenario training.
Where do these programs take place?
It’s your choice. We can come on-site if you have the space for us to teach or we can arrange for an off-site location that is mutually agreeable.
How long are the programs?
Our workshops range from 1.5 – 3 hours in length. We also offer comprehensive training modules ranging from 6 – 20 hour programs. All workshops are customized to meet your goals.
How many people can you accommodate in a group?
The number of workshop participants depends on the workshop format. The ideal number of participants are noted next to each workshop option. Group accommodations factor in educational goals and outcomes, time for individual rehearsals concepts, and instructor to participant ratio. If you have questions about the size of your group, please inquire with us about options for participant accommodations.
My company has questions about liability. Do you carry insurance?
We carry liability insurance and can name your company as an additional insured. Some of our workshops include physical resistance skills and all of our classes include verbal resistance, threat assessment, and threat management. We carefully and expertly craft physically and emotionally safe learning environments. Physical resistance skills are designed for all body types and abilities. We do not teach physical resistance skills that present a risk for injury.
Will my employees become more worried about safety while at work?
Your employees know from their experience and intuition about the safety challenges they encounter. Prepare feels it is best to acknowledge risk factors and then lower vulnerability and raise protective factors through experiential training. Employees who sometimes encounter emotionally volatile people, who do home visits, who travel to unfamiliar environments, for example, are very appreciative of skills to help them reduce their risks. They feel seen and heard by their employer and morale often improves.
