Protective Behaviours

http://www.pb.org.za
Protective Behaviours (PB) is a practical, empowering approach to personal safety.  It is a process that encourages and develops self-confidence alongside skills that help us avoid being victimised.  This is achieved by recognising our personal concept of safety, trusting our intuitive feelings (early warning signs) that tell us when we are feeling unsafe and developing strategies for self-protection.  The Protective Behaviours process links safety with fun and excitement and an adventurous approach to life.
