TEACHER SAFETY: The 3 Rs

Being victimized can be a very difficult and stressful experience. Teachers have two areas that greatly contribute to them becoming victims. The first one is when children/students turn violent against educators, physically attacking them, endangering their wellness. The second is being victimized by perpetrators …. bad guys that target law-abiding individuals daily. Rather it be that educators are victimized in the school’s parking lot, or during their leisure time, teachers are at risk of victimization.

The two personal safety training workshops available to empower teachers are:
