Clinical Homicide and Aggression Management Practices for Inpatient, Outpatient and Nontraditional Settings

At the most basic level, this program is intended to help you improve your competence and confidence in recognizing and managing violence risk across a variety of clinical settings.  Just as most agencies expend considerable resources to develop staff skills around suicide risk management, this is intended to provide similar tools for violence risk management.  Initially built to the needs of crisis work, the training is now being adapted for use in other clinical settings.

This program is being held on February 13, 2017 at the Herberman Conference Center. There is no fee to attend, but registration is necessary. To register visit: http://bit.ly/2h7NrRD
