Personal Safety is a State of Mindfulness |
|
Social workers, crisis workers, case managers, ACT team members, community support workers, and visiting nurses routinely find themselves faced with difficult and potentially dangerous situations. Unfortunately, on occasion, social services workers are confronted with life-threatening circumstances. It is a sad and undeniable truth, the risk of becoming a sexual assault victim, a hostage or even a homicide victim is ever-present. The good news is my Personal Safety training series will help you avoid these kinds of traumatic experiences. |
Personal Safety Training for Social Workers – This day-long workshop incorporates both didactic and experiential learning. The first half of the training is designed to create a new and safer mindset for people working in social services. A safety-first mind set will keep you ever-mindful of the risks involved while learning strategies and safety techniques designed to keep you from becoming a victim. The second half of the day is devoted to martial arts training. This passive yet highly effective form of self-defense empowers women and men of all capabilities while building confidence and self-reliance.
