The radKIDS Personal Empowerment Safety Education Program is a 10-hour family centered safety education program that emphasizes essential decision-making skills as well as physical resistance options to escape violence. Children from 5-12 years of age participate in the program with their adult partners to create a true safety partnership. Through radKIDS training, children become empowered and learn to replace the fear, confusion, and panic or dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills, and self-esteem.

“This training was especially good for [my son] because he’s so friendly and outgoing that prior to the training, his initial response would likely have been to try to help a stranger or even a non-stranger, which certainly would have increased the likelihood of him becoming harmed. I also found the household, fire, and traffic safety compo-nents of the program extremely helpful. It’s truly far more than a self-defense class. It’s comprehensive safety awareness and response training that, in my opinion, every child should attend. I’m going to tell everyone I know that has children to look for upcoming RadKids training.”
