Workplace Violence in Healthcare: Recognition and De-escalation
Foundational, role-based education for clinical and nonclinical staff. Follow one developing encounter to practice recognition, communication, environmental awareness, team response, reporting, and recovery without treating violence as an unavoidable part of healthcare.
Recognize observable changes, make safer communication and disengagement choices, summon help within your role, and report facts that support follow-up.

Connected to the workplace
Video education establishes shared language and role expectations. Facilities still need to connect the material to local alarms, exits, reporting channels, response roles, and post-event support.
- Observable behavior and factual reporting
- Role-based communication and response
- Environmental awareness and help pathways
- Recovery, review, and program improvement
The complete healthcare series
These courses support alignment with current workplace-violence prevention guidance and accreditation expectations. They do not replace facility-specific emergency instruction, hands-on skills practice, competency validation, legal advice, or an organization's prevention program.
