Have you ever worried about your safety during a home visit? Do you know what to look for and what to do if you feel at risk? Would you be able to protect yourself and the others around you in a dangerous situation? This training will explore the unique challenges faced by outreach workers as well as general safety techniques for working with individuals and families outside of the office environment.
Participants will understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment, learn to identify safety hazards, and identify ways to maintain a safe home visit. Participants will also develop a basic understanding of a crisis state and how to implement basic active listening skills to defuse a potentially dangerous encounter, develop strategies to get out of potentially dangerous environments, and create a plan to keep from experiencing worker burnout.
