About

OUR ROLE AS A PARTNER

The Project Survive Institute partners with organizations who understand their responsibility to provide safe environments for employees, students, and guests. When people are involved, preparation matters. We help institutions develop and implement safety plans, train their people how to respond under pressure, and prevent violent attacks that can result in catastrophic outcomes.

 

Our work uses state and federally recognized standards and over 75 years of combined experience to help protect people, safeguard against escalating liability risks, and prevent reputational damage.

Why Preparedness Matters

Unprepared organizations face more than immediate harm. They face long-term consequences, including lawsuits, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage, and loss of public trust.

 

Project Survive helps organizations:

  • Implement Prevention Programming to reduce incidence of violence

  • Equip staff to respond safely under pressure

  • Demonstrate responsible leadership and due diligence

  • Strengthen legal and operational defensibility

  • Protect people and safeguard the organization

PREVENT

Identify warning signs early, assess risk, and intervene before situations escalate.

RESPOND

Equip staff with clear, practical actions during high-stress, time-sensitive situations.

RECOVER

Strengthen resiliency, leadership, and long-term organizational readiness.
