What works, what doesn't?
AWARE is a non-profit group
dedicated to your safety.
Are You in Danger?
If you are being stalked, or if your life is being threatened, if someone who harmed or threatened you is being released from prison, or if you live or work in a highly dangerous environment, AWARE is available to help you find the resources and training you need to keep yourself alive. Some AWARE board members have first-hand experience with situations like these. We can evaluate the danger you are in, and help you develop a personal protection plan that is suited to your specific situation. Don't ignore the danger. Contact AWARE!
