Senior’s Personal Safety Workshop

Our Seniors Personal Safety Workshop is tailored specifically for older members of the community and focuses on practical strategies that support confidence and independence. While seniors play a vital and active role in our communities, they can sometimes be targeted due to perceived vulnerability. This workshop aims to provide practical knowledge and reassurance, helping participants feel more confident navigating everyday situations.

The session explores common safety concerns for seniors, including scams, situational awareness in public spaces and strategies to reduce vulnerability. Participants also learn practical ways to use their voice, body language and awareness to help de-escalate uncomfortable encounters and safely remove themselves from situations if needed.

Through discussion, interactive activities and practical guidance, participants gain knowledge and confidence to make safer decisions while continuing to stay active, independent and connected within their community.
