Practical Self Defense for Healthcare Occupations
This lecture series is devoted to fostering awareness regarding the inherent risks we encounter regularly. It aims to equip participants with the ability to recognize inappropriate behavior and provides guidance on addressing situations where a client's demeanor transitions from suggestive to confrontational. The sessions will delve into the psychology of victimology, exploring the common "flight, fight, freeze" response and strategies for effective intervention. Emphasis will be placed on the crucial practice of thorough documentation. Additionally, we offer a hands-on self-defense workshop, focusing on practical techniques for escaping various scenarios, including being grabbed in a treatment room, followed to one's car, or confronted in enclosed spaces.

The common belief is that unforeseen and potentially violent situations won't happen to oneself. Consequently, the likelihood of being adequately prepared for such unexpected incidents is often minimal. In professions centered around helping others feel better, the notion of potential harm is typically not at the forefront of one's considerations.
Through meticulous research, Kaci has compiled a list of real-life scenarios where we examine what went wrong, explore alternative courses of action, and focus on effective methods for escaping dangerous situations. In these sessions, we will engage in comprehensive discussions and practical exercises to enhance preparedness, ensuring that participants not only understand potential risks but also gain firsthand experience in successfully getting out of and away from threatening circumstances.
