Don’t be a victim. Be A.W.A.R.E.

You’re on your own, without the safety net of family, friends, and familiar places. The world can be dangerous, but you are far from helpless.

For twenty-five years, S. Gale Bleth has taught people of all ages to change their mindset and grow their awareness and confidence. Her guidance has helped thousands of people take their personal safety to another level. Now you can be A.W.A.R.E. as well.

In simple, clear language, Bleth reveals how awareness is responsible for 90 percent of your safety. Learn the keys to proactively stay out of danger so you don’t become a victim. Get to know your personal weapons, should you ever need to defend yourself. Powerful, engaging, and ultimately empowering, A.W.A.R.E. is your practical guide to self-defense through staying alert, watching your surroundings, assessing situations, responding appropriately, and escaping if necessary.

Industry Reviews

“As a former police captain involved with public safety for over forty years, I found A.W.A.R.E. to be an invaluable, potentially lifesaving guidebook to manage safety risks, prevent victimization, and protect personal safety. S. Gale Bleth professionally managed to condense twenty-five years of teaching personal safety and self-defense into this exceptional resource, with true life stories and effective, practical strategies to keep oneself safe.” 

—Captain Dan Willis (Ret.), author of Bulletproof Spirit.

“Insightful, practical, and grounded in real-world experience, A.W.A.R.E. gives first-time college students, their families, and others the tools they need to navigate campus life safely and confidently—without sacrificing independence or peace of mind. S. Gale Bleth’s playbook is a smart, accessible roadmap for staying safe in all situations.”

—Phil Ribera (Ret.), police captain, memoirist, and author of the Danny McKenna detective series.
