| radKIDS, which is an acronym for Resist
Aggression Defensively, is the national leader in children's
safety, with headquarters based in Harwichport, Massachusetts. radKIDS
is brought to children and parents by the training and development of
nationally certified instructors drawn from their own communities.
The radKIDS program educates children on escape and defensive tactics
that may one day be needed to avoid possible child abduction or violent
confrontation. By
empowering a community with certified local instructors, the radKIDS
Personal Empowerment Safety Education package is not just a program but
a true gift to the community.
radKIDS Curriculum topics include:
- Home, School and Vehicle Safety
- Out and About Safety
- Realistic Defense Against Abduction
- Good-Bad-Uncomfortable Touch and more.
- Stranger Tricks (including Physical
Defense against Abduction)
