Equally so, for the First Time: A Foundational Program for Early Risk Recognition & Prevention
Introducing A.V.E.R.T. F.I.R.S.T.™ (Awareness & Vigilance for Effective Response to Emerging Risks & Trends – Factors Influencing Risks, Shifts, and Trends).
AVERT First is the entry point into the AVERT framework — a foundational education program designed to give individuals, communities, and organizations the skills to:
-
Identify early warning signs of risk and vulnerability
-
Understand the shifts and trends that precede harm
-
Build a culture of awareness and proactive prevention
Unlike traditional safety trainings that focus only on immediate crises, AVERT First emphasizes early recognition and front-line response. By equipping learners to see risk factors before they escalate, the program fosters resilience, preparedness, and stronger protective systems.
Participants walk away with:
-
A structured foundation in prevention and awareness
-
Tools to spot subtle but significant shifts in health, safety, and social well-being
-
Confidence in applying strategies that prevent risks from becoming crises
AVERT First is more than training — it’s a transformational framework that redefines what it means to lead with vigilance, prevention, and readiness.
