"Keeping Yourself Safe" 

Date: Thursday, June 17, 2010

Time: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Location: Crowne Plaza Hotel, Exit 8, Nashua, NH

Safety for women begins with trusting your instincts and reacting quickly to the first signs of danger. Avoiding a physical confrontation by stopping an assault before it starts is the most important element of personal safety. Deb Carney will speak about specific behaviors to pay attention to when interacting with others, and basic tips that you can use in your everyday
life to help keep you safe.

Deb Carney is a security professional at Liberty Guard Service based in Milford NH, and has taught women's and teens' safety programs through her local police department as a certified Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Basic Defense Instructor since 2001.

She is a frequent presenter at many local organizations including a community outreach program for pre-teens to coincide with National Dating Violence Prevention Month at Clark University. Educating our daughters before they encounter controlling and dangerous behaviors in their relationships is the first step in prevention.

Our sponsor this month is The Security Group (including Liberty Guard Service) which offers and provides the highest quality security services and customer satisfaction in regional security services. LGS provides security for government, courthouses, private corporations, international cruise lines, small businesses, and residential clients. The Security Group
provides security officers, mobile patrol services, access control systems, video security monitoring, and comprehensive security consultation and implementation. http://www.libertyguard.com/

to help BPW raise money for its Education Program.
