Safety Training for Hospice Workers

For many years, health care workers have faced a significant risk of job-related violence. Assaults represent a serious safety and health hazard.

Our program provides Hospice organizations training and recommendations for reducing workplace violence. These Guidelines are developed following a careful review of workplace violence studies, public and private violence prevention programs and input from stakeholders.

Through our OSHA authorized comprehensive crisis prevention and intervention program, you can learn how to defuse challenging and disruptive behavior before an incident escalates to a crisis situation. Successful implementation leads to a change in organizational culture, a change in adult professional behavior, and a change in staff relationships with both service users and stakeholders. These changes offer many benefits to your staff, your organization, and the individuals you serve.

Save Your Karate Kicks for the Gym

Save Your Karate Kicks for the Gym: Realistic Self-Defense

The Power of YOU

You've seen it in movies: A girl walks through an isolated parking garage. Suddenly, an evil-looking guy jumps out from behind an SUV. The girl jumps into her karate stance and kicks the bad guy in a certain sensitive place. While he's squirming, she leaps into her car and speeds to safety. But that only happens in the movies.

While we are advocates of the martial arts, this is a realistic self-defense class. Self-defense actually means doing everything possible to avoid fighting someone who threatens or attacks you. Self-defense is all about using your smarts, not your fists. This keynote will teach you what to do, after you scream, specifically how to make someone let you go or get them off of you.
