Description

  • Navigate landmark laws and ethical mandates driving workplace violence prevention
  • Spot risk early with cutting-edge assessment tools and proactive interventions
  • Defuse crises fast with advanced de-escalation and reintegration strategies

Workplace violence isn’t something clinicians are meant to carry.

Yet many clinicians – across clinical and private practice settings, EAPs, healthcare, schools, and organizational environments – find themselves pulled into conversations about concerning behavior in the workplace, often without clear guidance or support.

The moment comes, and the questions hit hard:

What’s my role? What if I get this wrong? How do I help without overstepping – or under-responding?

Watch David Glick, EdM, LCSW, for a clinician-centered training that offers clear tools and steady guardrails, so you’re no longer guessing when workplace-related risk enters your work.

This isn’t about responding to violence or taking on another role. It’s about having the confidence to recognize concern, navigate ethics, stay in scope, and support workplace safety – for yourself and your colleagues.

After this workshop, you’ll gain:

  • Immediate clarity when workplace-related risk enters clinical conversations
  • Relief from uncertainty around ethical, legal, and documentation obligations
  • Practical tools to support risk identification – without conducting formal threat assessments
  • Confidence in knowing when to treat, consult, refer, or step back
  • Protection of scope, role, and licensure in complex workplace situations
  • Clear language and structure to support organizations seeking help – without assuming responsibility for safety decisions
  • Guidance for post-incident support and recovery, not incident management
