We’ll discuss how organizations can recognize signs of distress, support affected employees, create safe reporting pathways, and foster a culture of safety and prevention.  

Attendees Will Learn:

• The connection between interpersonal violence and workplace violence in health care settings, and why it matters.
• Warning signs and risk factors that may indicate an employee is experiencing interpersonal violence.
• Strategies for prevention and intervention, including trauma-informed approaches and safety planning.
