Our Story

Get Safe began over 40 years ago with a simple, powerful idea: that safety is a basic human right. What started as a small community outreach effort has grown into a nationally recognized organization that equips people of all abilities with the tools to stay safe, build confidence, and thrive. From individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to law enforcement officers, educators, and healthcare professionals, Get Safe has trained tens of thousands through engaging, trauma-informed, and real-world-tested programs.

Rooted in lived experience and guided by compassion, Get Safe’s approach is as practical as it is empowering. We don’t just teach safety—we teach people how to communicate, advocate for themselves, and make decisions that protect themselves and others. Whether we're teaching students in a classroom, officers in a police department, or caregivers supporting vulnerable communities, our mission remains the same: to make safety accessible, relevant, and lasting for everyone we serve.

Our Founder

In 1984, Stuart Haskin operated a traditional martial arts studio, focusing on standard techniques. He noticed that some female students, survivors of violence, were experiencing emotional breakthroughs during training sessions. Recognizing their need for empowerment, Stuart developed a unique self-defense recovery program to help survivors and their families process trauma and regain confidence. After becoming a certified California Crisis Intervention and Sexual Assault Counseling agency, Get Safe embarked on its mission to help individuals lead safer, stronger lives.

Over the years, Get Safe has expanded to include various programs, such as children's anti-bullying trainings, workplace safety trainings, specialized safety programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, trauma-informed survivor programs, and law enforcement trainings. Our comprehensive approach ensures that anyone seeking safety assistance can find support with Get Safe.
