WEBINAR DETAILS

Healthcare workers, especially nurses and frontline staff, face a disproportionately high risk of workplace violence. Healthcare professionals face increasing challenges with patient aggression, emotional distress, and workplace tension. De-escalation is essential in healthcare because it directly impacts the safety, emotional well-being, and quality of care for both patients and healthcare professionals.

This webinar will equip you with practical, evidence-based de-escalation techniques to enhance safety, build trust, and improve patient outcomes. Join us to learn how to recognize early signs of escalation and when de-escalation will not work, how to communicate with empathy and authority, and how to manage high-stress situations.
