This workshop is targeted at frontline staff who are dealing with clients who exhibit aggressive and /or violent behaviours.
After working through this workshop, participants will understand the following:
- Be able to identify unacceptable, aggressive and violent behaviours towards them;
- Understand the science and research around why people behave in an aggressive or violent way including behaviours such as anger, frustration and stress;
- Have a toolbox of strategies to allow them to diffuse a difficult situation and protect themselves
- Recognise when they or others need further support following an aggressive confrontation or call and know what to do about it.
