Learn ways to minimize risks and avoid confrontations by maintaining an awareness of the environment around you.

Seminar Overview

This seminar, developed by Bayside resident Mark Camillo was originally created and taught as a workshop for disabled veterans during national events hosted by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Mark, a retired Secret Service Agent, conducted this workshop for ten years at VA events, and later adapted it for other populations who can benefit from this approach which is focused on recognizing danger, minimizing the risks and avoiding confrontation. Participants will also see examples of how to survive confrontations when given no other option.  Protecting ones self from harm by avoiding harmful situations is a theme that runs throughout this seminar.
