Description
FREE Info session for Violence Prevention course
We have all heard the saying "NO means NO!" but violence isn't that clear cut. There are many distinguishing factors that must be understood in order to understand violence. Violence may come from external sources such as customers, clients, patients or even strangers. It could also come from internal sources such as friends, family or those we work with.
Whatever the reason for violence, it is unacceptable behaviour and learning to protect ourselves from these negative behaviours is far better than having to deal with the aftermath of violence.
This program offers a unique insight as we focus on the skills to better IDENTIFY, AVOID and MANAGE violence.
As individuals we have a responsibility to keep ourselves safe, as a community we have the responsibility to look out for each other.
This truly insightful program into Violence Prevention is EMPOWERING. It not only brings us together as a community, but also educates on various aspects of violence prevention inclusive of:
• We All Play a Part
• Types of Violence
• Active Listening Skills
• Assessing the Risk of Violence
• Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
• Understanding Environmental and Emotional Stressors
• Understanding Fight, Flight or Freeze
• Personal Space Management
• Verbal Engagement (QSC™)
• Why Self-Protection Training is Part of Violence Prevention
• Self-Protection (Identify, avoid and manage violence)
• Practical Basic Self-Defence
And more…
This course is open to all over the age of 12. Sign up today and learn the skills to reduce the risk of violence.
