Los Angeles, California, June 18, 2026 – Get Safe, a Tustin-based safety training organization with nearly four decades of experience, has added new session dates to its women's self-defense program in Anaheim following an increase in registration requests from individuals, employers, and community organizations across Orange and Los Angeles counties. The expanded schedule introduces additional in-person and virtual training options tailored for women in public, workplace, and home safety scenarios, extending access to the program beyond its existing Southern California base of more than 500,000 trained participants.

Community Safety Context

Safety concerns for women and the public continue to grow across Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim.

Areas of concern include:

• Workplace: Rising incidents of harassment, intimidation, and aggression.

• Public Spaces: Street harassment, mugging, and transit-related safety challenges.

• Home: Break-ins, confrontations, and emergency preparedness gaps.

The company’s programs allow participants to:

• Recognize potential threats early.

• Avoid high-risk situations whenever possible.

• Practice practical responses safely in controlled scenarios.

Before and After Training

Participants often experience a notable difference in preparedness and confidence following their training.

• Before training: Many participants reported limited awareness of potential threats, hesitation in risky situations, and uncertainty in responding to harassment or emergency scenarios.

• After training: Participants demonstrate heightened awareness, can spot early warning signs, apply verbal and physical self-defense for women techniques, and follow structured safety routines in the workplace, home, and public spaces.

This narrative underscores the measurable impact of the expanded programs on both individual confidence and practical safety skills.

Program Features and Instructional Approach

Each program emphasizes measurable, real-world skills:

• Situational Awareness and Risk Recognition: Spotting unusual behavior and environmental risks.

• Verbal Defense and De-Escalation: Using communication to prevent escalation.

• Physical Self-Defense Techniques: Simple, practical moves suitable for all participants.

• Scenario-Based Exercises: Role-playing in workplace, home, and public settings.

• Trauma-Informed Instruction: Respecting personal boundaries and ensuring safe learning environments.

Relevance for Local Communities

The program expansion aligns with local safety priorities:

• Women’s Safety: Enhancing confidence and preparedness in public, workplace, and home settings.

• Organizational Safety: Supporting businesses, schools, and healthcare providers with compliant, practical training.

• Public Awareness: Promoting violence prevention, early warning recognition, and conflict de-escalation.

"What we keep hearing from women who come through our programs is that they didn't realize how much they didn't know — and that's not a criticism, that's just the reality of how most people move through the world. What changes after training isn't just skill, it's awareness. Women start noticing exits, reading body language, trusting their instincts. That shift in confidence is something they carry with them everywhere. We added these sessions in Anaheim because people were asking for them, and that demand tells us the community knows it needs this."
