Great course! Information that directly applies to my job duties and will allow me to expand the threat assessment role.
Chris Anderson, Paladin Security
Targeted violence can be viewed as separate and distinct from the aggressive behaviour we manage, usually from our patients, on a daily basis in all of our health care facilities. Incidents where both the perpetrator and target(s) are identified or identifiable prior to the incident are occurring with alarming frequency in our health authorities, sometimes with deadly results. Kevin Calder and Associates provides vital training, guidance and expertise in the areas risk assessment and threat awareness through defined principles and methodology. Our continued engagement with Kevin Calder and Associates has greatly assisted myself and others within our business to bring formality and structure as we pursue our own organizational Threat Awareness Program.

This workshop was very interesting and educational. I would recommend this to all facilities, whether long-term care, home settings or hospital settings.
Participant, Health Care Violence Risk workshop
We, the general public, are only familiar with what the media reports whenever a serious incident has occurred, but it's interesting to note that many of these potential threats are defused by advisors such as you... the threat of violence can be negated through identification, assessment and management. Of particular interest was your explanation of the types of workplace violence perpetrators and your breakdown of direct, veiled and conditional threats.
