Violence against women continues to be a pervasive problem. To gain control over their personal safety, many women turn to R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense), a nationally recognized program that teaches realistic self-defense tactics and techniques.

Over the last 30 years, more than 1 million women have taken the course — including Deborah Millar, the director of community wellness and engagement for princetonhealth.
