Red flags are not always obvious. Concerning behaviors may begin subtly, be dismissed as misunderstandings, or become normalized over time. People may also second-guess themselves, ignore discomfort to avoid conflict, or struggle to distinguish fear, anxiety, past experiences, and genuine warning signs.

The Red Flags, Intuition & Decision-Making Workshop provides practical education to help participants slow down, notice patterns, gather information, identify warning signs, and make thoughtful decisions without relying on fear or impulse alone.

Participants explore how emotions, previous experiences, social pressure, relationships, stress, and personal biases can influence decision-making. They also learn why intuition can sometimes serve as an important signal to pay closer attention—not as proof that something is wrong, but as a reason to pause, assess the situation, and seek additional information when necessary.

Through real-world scenarios, interactive discussions, reflection exercises, and practical decision-making tools, participants develop greater confidence in recognizing concerning patterns and responding thoughtfully to situations involving relationships, personal boundaries, online interactions, workplaces, social environments, and everyday life.

This workshop can be customized for schools, colleges, workplaces, recovery programs, reentry programs, nonprofits, community organizations, victim advocacy programs, faith-based organizations, and support groups.

Participants will learn how to:

• Understand what a behavioral red flag is. 
• Recognize common warning signs in relationships and situations. 
• Understand intuition as a signal to pause and evaluate. 
• Distinguish between feelings, assumptions, observations, and evidence. 
• Recognize patterns rather than relying on isolated incidents. 
• Identify manipulation, pressure, and controlling behaviors. 
• Understand how stress and previous experiences may influence reactions. 
• Recognize social and peer pressure. 
• Strengthen critical-thinking skills. 
• Slow down impulsive decision-making. 
• Evaluate possible risks and consequences. 
• Develop practical personal-safety strategies. 
• Know when to seek additional information or support. 
• Build confidence in making informed decisions.

We understand that decision-making and personal safety education should reflect the age, experiences, and environment of each audience. That's why the Red Flags, Intuition & Decision-Making Workshop can be customized to meet your organization's goals, available time, and desired learning outcomes. 

 Perfect for schools, colleges, workplaces, conferences, community organizations, and prevention programs. Participants are introduced to behavioral red flags, intuition, situational awareness, social influence, and practical strategies for making more informed decisions. 

 Participants explore warning signs, manipulation, boundaries, decision-making, critical thinking, social pressure, and personal safety through interactive scenarios, guided discussions, reflection exercises, and practical activities. 

 Designed for organizations seeking a comprehensive prevention and decision-making experience. Participants examine relationship and situational red flags, patterns of behavior, intuition, risk assessment, boundaries, manipulation, social influence, personal safety, and strategies for responding to concerning situations. 

 The multi-session format allows participants to practice recognizing patterns and strengthening decision-making skills over time. Sessions explore awareness, boundaries, social influence, red flags, critical thinking, personal safety, and responding to difficult situations. 

 Content can be adapted for students, adults, employees, individuals in recovery, returning citizens, survivor communities, colleges, nonprofits, and other organizations. Scenarios and activities are customized to remain relevant and appropriate for each audience.

 Many concerning situations do not begin with an obvious warning.

Instead, people may notice small changes: repeated boundary violations, pressure, inconsistent behavior, isolation, excessive control, uncomfortable requests, or simply a feeling that something deserves closer attention.

At the same time, not every uncomfortable feeling means someone is dangerous. Effective prevention education should teach people how to notice, pause, evaluate, and respond rather than automatically ignore their instincts or assume the worst.

This workshop helps participants develop that balance.

Participants learn to recognize patterns, evaluate observable behavior, consider possible consequences, identify available choices, and seek support when needed. The goal is to strengthen both self-trust and critical thinking.

These skills can be applied to relationships, friendships, workplaces, online interactions, social situations, recovery, reentry, and countless everyday decisions.

At The Jane Doe Foundation, we believe prevention includes helping people recognize when something deserves their attention and giving them practical tools for deciding what to do next.

Notice the signs. Trust yourself enough to pause. Then make an informed choice.

 Learn to identify behaviors and patterns that may signal unhealthy, manipulative, controlling, exploitative, or potentially unsafe situations. 

 Explore what people often describe as a "gut feeling" and learn to treat intuition as a signal to pause and gather information rather than as automatic proof of danger. 

 Learn why repeated patterns of behavior can provide more useful information than judging an entire situation based on one interaction alone. 

 Recognize guilt, coercion, excessive pressure, isolation, boundary testing, controlling behavior, and other tactics that can influence decision-making. 

 Develop greater awareness of surroundings, circumstances, behavior, available options, and potential sources of support. 

 Practice separating observations from assumptions while considering available information, possible explanations, risks, and consequences. 

 Use practical strategies to slow down decisions, evaluate options, consider consequences, and make choices that align with personal values and safety. 

 Understand how personal boundaries can provide valuable information about whether another person respects your choices, limits, and autonomy. 

 Explore how relationships, social pressure, authority figures, online environments, and the desire for acceptance can affect judgment. 

 Develop confidence in asking questions, taking concerns seriously, seeking additional information, changing your mind, and asking for help when something doesn't feel right. 

 Every Red Flags, Intuition & Decision-Making Workshop is designed to provide practical prevention education participants can apply to real-life situations. 

 A professionally developed, trauma-informed curriculum covering behavioral red flags, intuition, situational awareness, boundaries, manipulation, critical thinking, decision-making, social influence, and personal safety. 

 Participants may receive red-flag guides, decision-making worksheets, boundary exercises, scenario activities, personal-safety tools, reflection pages, and educational resources. 

 Participants work through age-appropriate real-world scenarios, identify warning signs, compare possible responses, evaluate consequences, and practice structured decision-making. 

 Facilitated conversations allow participants to examine difficult situations and different perspectives without requiring anyone to disclose personal experiences. 

 Each workshop includes dedicated time for questions related to red flags, personal safety, boundaries, decision-making, and applying workshop concepts in everyday situations. 

Organizations may request Certificates of Participation for attendees completing the workshop or educational series. 

 Participants receive information about relevant community organizations, victim services, mental health resources, crisis services, recovery supports, and other resources when appropriate.
