Safety is a State of Mindfulness |
|
Social workers, crisis workers, and community support workers routinely find themselves faced with difficult and potentially dangerous situations. Sometimes you are confronted with life-threatening circumstances. The risk of becoming a sexual assault victim, a hostage or even a homicide victim is ever present. My training will help you to avoid these kinds of traumatic experiences. |
