Brief Overview
A trauma-informed approach to reduce the impact of client aggression while boosting psychological safety at work.
A role supporting others in aged and healthcare can be enormously fulfilling work. Unfortunately, client aggression in these industries has often become a daily occurrence. No doubt, this takes a toll on staff, resulting in increased Workcover claims, sick leave, staff turnover, burnout and low morale.
Mental health claims are growing steadily over time and are expected to grow to 33 % of workers’ compensation claims in the next 10 years. This trend places increased pressure on employers who care about their staff’s mental health and want to mitigate risks to their well-being.
In response to these threats, we have developed a cutting-edge, trauma-informed course called ‘Managing the Impacts of Client Aggression’.
