Study Abroad Safety

A Parent’s Guide to Sending Your Child Abroad

“Safety isn't expensive; it's priceless.” 

Our message must be loud and clear, and our team works tirelessly to shed light on the hidden threat impacting our most vulnerable citizens, our children, who may be targeted when traveling because of their age, race, sex, or religion.

Becoming your own safety advocate requires identifying vulnerabilities and prioritizing training. This begins with adopting a strategy of recognizing, addressing, and minimizing various risks associated with international travel and studying abroad. Through this approach, you can enhance your leadership abilities, hone your communication skills, and clarify roles and responsibilities.

What is Personal Safety, and how can we improve it? Personal safety is recognizing and avoiding harmful situations in your surroundings. Best practices start with thinking about emergency management and developing a plan involving: 

·       Risk Mitigation

·       Preparedness 

·       Response 

·       Recovery

Strategically planning for difficult times will improve success. The truth is those who are not prepared will struggle when faced with a rapidly evolving crisis. And those who are ready will be able to adjust quickly with their leadership skills and survival strategies.
