Description:
This session will identify the prevalence of violence within outpatient mental health settings and then provide a framework for enhancing violence prevention. Violence prevention requires assessment and treatment for individual clients as well as assessment of risks in the physical environment. Often violence programs have only focused on individual patient’s risk without viewing the larger context or possible triggers within our therapeutic settings. Examples will address ways that solo practices and large practices can prevent acts of aggression.
Objectives
1. Describe the incidence of violence within outpatient mental health settings
2. Differentiate between patient indicators and facility indicators for violence
3. Examine ways to enhance prevention at your setting
