About the PREVAIL! ™ Program & Training Package
PREVAIL! is designed to help all employees (as well as public servants, private citizens and others) respond in violent situations involving an armed intruder/active shooter threat.
The result of a partnership between Sollah Interactive and Strategos International, the goals and objectives of PREVAIL! provide workplace leadership, management, security and front line personnel with information and strategies on recognizing and responding to the dynamic challenges and issues of violent incidents within the workplace.

Since the 1980s, violence has been recognized as a leading cause of occupational injury and mortality. On average, 1.7 million workers are harmed each year and more than 800 die as a result of workplace violence [Bureau of Justice Statistics 2001; Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005.]
As most of us are aware, violence on the job manifests itself in many forms; from emotional abuse to bullying to assault and even homicide. While the latter is the least common, it is the most devastating to employees, families, employers and their communities.
PREVAIL! will provide employees with the skills necessary to assess and strategically respond to a threat.

The PREVAIL! Difference
Here are a few key points that differentiate PREVAIL! from other active shooter program and models:
- The PREVAIL! 3-OUT model is proactive, not reactive.
- PREVAIL! increases capability while decreasing anxiety. The 3-OUT model is easy to remember. Easy to implement after a training session.
- The PREVAIL! 3-OUT model is not linear; but it’s principle-based (if/then). Your OUT depends on your location to the threat. And My OUT is not always Your OUT.
- We drive home the key issue of normalcy bias – and how our body needs to get past sight – and trust other inputs. PREVAIL! does NOT reinforce natural instincts (instincts are not the highest level of human performance).
- PREVAIL! changes your mindset – from just surviving to prevailing! Surviving is defensive; prevailing is about taking action.
- The PREVAIL! model focuses on gross motor skills vs. fine motor skills. In a stressful event, fine motor skills are typically the first thing that goes.
- The PREVAIL! 3-OUT model is easy to remember!
