ABSTRACT
This training packet contains materials for
predeparture and in-country sessions for Peace Corps volunteers on
personal safety and handling of difficult situations. It is divided
into three units, Unit 1 includes predeparture and in-country
sessions that focus on personal safety issues. It is designed to
increase awareness, develop strategies, and examine country-specific
safety issues and how to handle difficult social situations. Unit 2
on rape and personal safety has a predeparture session to increase
awareness and develop strategies for dealing with rape and an
in-country session to make previous strategies country-specific and
explore support for victims. Unit 3 is a design for a volunteer
workshop on handling difficult situations and peer counseling. It
explores current precautions used by volunteers, how they can more
effectively handle difficult situations, and support of volunteers
using techniques of peer counseling. Components for each session
include behavioral objectives, time, teacher preparation, materials
needed, procedures, content outline, and handouts. (¥LB)

INFORMATION COLLECTION & EXCHANGE
Peace Oorps' Information Collection & Exchange (ICE) was
established so that the strategies and technologies devel-
oped by Peace Corps Volunteers, their co-workers, and their
counterparts could be made available to the wide range of
developrent organizations and individual workers who might
find them useful. ‘Training guides, curricula, lesson plans,
Project reports, manuals and other Peace Corps-generated
materials developed in the field are collected and reviewed.
Sore are reprinted "as is"; others provide a source of field
based information for the production of manuals or for re-
search in particular program areas. Materials that you sub-
mit to the Information Oollection & Exchange thus becore
part of the Peace Corps’ larger contribution to development.
Information about ICE publications and services is available
