A 2005 study by R. Ringstad at California State University -Turlock surveyed a national random sample of 1,029 social workers and found 62% of social workers in the study reported they had been victims of physical or psychological assault in their practices.

We recognize that not all mental/behavioral health providers have had extensive training like that of their hospital-based colleagues. We are offering a new program just for you.
 
As a psythotherapist/mental health counselor, I have worked in both hospitals and community mental health centers, as well as private practices and treatment centers. My colleague, Dr. Eaddy has provided training for ACT teams and direct-care providers. Our seminars cover preventative communication skills (which is perfect for reception/front office staff), verbal de-escalation skills, personal office safety, and then end it with some physical defense/escape techniques (Aikido based). I have trained in martial arts for several years, and Dr. Eaddy also has training in Aikido--an added benefit in that we focus on prevention first and foremost. 
 
If you or someone you know works in an office alone and occasionally interacts with angry/irrate clients or customers, you need these skills. And, the price of $175 will be invaluable to you for a lifetime.
