What People Are Saying About SAFE
From parents and professionals to certified instructors, here’s how SAFE training has made a real difference.
My daughter took your program many years ago when she was a grade 9 student. Five years later, she was able to avoid an abduction because of the information she learned.
J. O’Brien
I could never have imagined as a 14-year-old how impactful four hours of learning from you could flood over into so many areas of my life, from giving me the confidence to stand up for myself with my words and decisions to a physical attack I did face and survive.
Former Student
Great experience. Chris is a wealth of knowledge. I was challenged to think about situations I had never thought about. I learned something new about people and myself.
Leanne H.
I was nervous to start teaching solo, but after getting certified, I felt completely ready. The training gave me the tools I needed to teach with confidence—and my students absolutely love it.

Who’s Behind SAFE Violence Prevention & Self-Defence?
Meet Chris Roberts
Chris Roberts has taught violence prevention and self-defence for over 30 years and has trained more than 200,000 people—students, parents, educators, workplaces, and communities.
He founded SAFE in 1994 to teach practical skills that work under stress—especially for regular people who may only take one course.
The focus is simple: prevention first, clear decisions, and training that builds calm confidence—without hype or technique overload.
The goal: Make safety simple, teach it with empathy, and help people protect themselves in hours—not years.
