Fight Back on Spring Break! (for young men & women in college)

It’s halfway through second semester and students are gearing up for the long-awaited, MTV inspired Spring Break vacation. But the false ideology of whatever happens on spring break stays on spring break is becoming increasingly dangerous. In March 2006, CNN flew our Founder/CEO, Erin Weed, to Daytona Beach for a special report on Spring Break. She had the chance to get an in-depth look at what’s happening on spring break and the danger behind seemingly innocent situations. In this program, we will offer proactive strategies for: party situations, hotel security, avoiding date rape drugs, air & car travel and the top 5 ways to avoid crime targeted at tourists. Your speaker will also demonstrate her favorite self-defense techniques that could be used to escape a violent confrontation. Using our signature down-to-earth humor, we remind students to have a blast on spring break…but to do so safely. For more info, go to www.SafeSpringBreak.org

Greeks Fight Back! (for fraternities and sororities)

Personal safety and self-defense expert, Erin Weed, believes the strong numbers and influence of Greeks on campus could save lives. In 2001, Erin’s sorority sister was murdered at Eastern Illinois University, and the Greek community banded together to support one another. It made her wonder...what if we joined together in a PROACTIVE way, to prevent violence before it ever happened in the first place? This program educates Greek students about campus crime, and what they can do to keep themselves and the people they care about safe. Topics discussed include: how to trust intuition, ways to intervene as a bystander, activism ideas for creating a safe campus, the dangerous relationship between violence and alcohol, practical tips for avoiding all sorts of violence by living as a “bad victim” and finally how to fight back if necessary. That’s the fun part! The entire crowd stands up and learns simple and effective self-defense techniques that anyone can use, regardless of gender or size. Fraternity men and sorority women can lead the charge in cultivating safe campuses for all students...and we will show you how.
