DEALING WITH DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS:

Class attendees will engage in discussion relating to how individual perceptions, assumptions and mindset affect thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes and ultimately the outcome of personal interactions. The module will include suggestions related to the need for professionalism, and strategies for managing our own anger during difficult interactions and strategies. This session also offers a specific strategy to defuse and de-escalate an angry or heightened person.

SUICIDE RECOGNITION & INTERVENTION:

Class attendees will explore ways to recognize the signs and indicators that a person may be moving down the path toward suicidal behaviour. In addition, this session will provide strategies for structuring a conversation with a potentially suicidal person. Participants will also be exposed to the concept of lethality assessment and ways to engage the potentially suicidal person in a “safety plan” to ensure they do not move forward with their suicidal plan.

ENHANCING EMPLOYEE SAFETY THROUGH SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:

This module is designed to raise the employee’s situational awareness to ensure that people have a sense of what is happening around them. Five levels of awareness will be incorporated into the presentation. Class attendees will look at the characteristics of a high risk violent person, behaviours that may indicate possible escalation, safety considerations for business and if violence occurs, what to do.
