Today I was in a workshop learning how to deal with violent behaviour.This was a part one of a two day workshop. You might think two days of this ,I did. But there is so much more than just learning to defend yourself. Learning to defend yourself is the last resort, hopefully you can de- escalate the situation .We never really know what factors have influence the persons mood /candour before they reach my place of employment.There are many things such as drugs, alcohol , hunger , abuse , diabetes , most times these things are out of their control. Most likely your just the person who is the last straw and the one who will give them an outlet to express the anger. Learning to deal with different situations ,and if things do escalate to be able to not harm the anger person and still protect myself is a powerful tool.I work in a education environment and for me this is more knowledge to help me be better employee. I hope that I am never put in such a situation , but if I am I will do my best to be prepared.........
I thank my lucky stars that I am have my family and friends....
