Clements says the class will focus on teaching awareness techniques and protective measures. The course can be designed for people of all ages.

“Its really good when you get through with it and say, gollee, thank you, and I have actually had some people come back from prior classes that have told me they learned something, and they know it saved them, they know that they got in a situation where this helped them out,” Clements said.
