Active Shooter, Trauma Response

Fight or Flight? Or will you Freeze or Fawn? Which will your body choose?

 

It is almost impossible to know how you will react to a high stress situation unless you have been through one already. The best you can do is to be prepared for anything that comes your way. Our Active Shooter/Trauma Response training teaches you how you will respond, trains you to be better prepared to respond, and builds confidence in yourself.
