About This Training

Creating a safer workplace is not about practicing from fear.

Recent national news — including the tragic killing of a therapist in their Florida office — has been a sobering reminder that outpatient mental health settings are not immune from violence. Many clinicians felt shaken by that story. Most of us quietly wondered: Would I know what to do if this were me?

Creating a safer workplace is not about practicing from fear. It is about building clarity before something happens.

This live, interactive training supports mental health clinicians, supervisors, and practice leaders in strengthening safety with steadiness and discernment. Grounded in systemic and relational principles, the training integrates real-world case examples with legally grounded guidance so participants leave knowing what to do under pressure — without abandoning therapeutic integrity.

Content applies to both in-person and telehealth settings and is relevant for group practices, community clinics, and solo private practitioners alike.

What You Will Learn

Sex therapy and tarot training, Tacoma, WA

Participants will learn how to:

  • Identify early warning signs and escalation patterns in outpatient mental health settings
  • Apply nervous-system informed, trauma-informed de-escalation strategies
  • Determine when to call 911 and how to initiate emergency procedures
  • Respond appropriately if law enforcement or government agencies (including ICE) arrive at the workplace — with attention to client confidentiality, legal obligations, and staff safety
  • Implement clear documentation and reporting protocols
  • Provide post-incident support that strengthens — rather than fractures — team culture
  • Build policies that support a sustainable, accountable culture of safety

This training emphasizes discernment, relational containment, and systemic responsibility — not hypervigilance.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Identify relational, behavioral, and environmental warning signs of potential escalation in outpatient mental health settings.

Apply trauma-informed, relational de-escalation strategies while maintaining therapist self-regulation and professional boundaries.

Differentiate between situations requiring continued clinical containment and those requiring evacuation, lockdown, consultation, or emergency services activation.

Implement ethical documentation, reporting, and post-incident debrief practices aligned with Washington State standards.

Apply telehealth-specific safety planning and response strategies that protect clients, clinicians, and organizations.

Example Agenda (2 Hours | Live Remote)

PART 2

De-Escalation & Emergency Decision-Making

  • Therapist self-regulation as the foundation of safety
  • Power, proximity, pacing, and boundary clarity
  • When containment is appropriate — and when it has limits
  • Clear criteria for calling 911
  • Evacuation vs. lockdown decision-making
  • Responding when law enforcement or government agencies arrive

PART 3

Telehealth, Documentation & Organizational Culture

  • Safety planning during intake (location verification, emergency contacts)

Why This Training / Why Now

In light of recent national tragedies in outpatient settings, many clinicians are asking important safety questions:

  • Would I recognize early warning signs in time?
  • Would I feel confident calling 911?
  • What happens if ICE or law enforcement shows up?
  • Are our documentation and reporting systems legally sound?
  • Does our practice culture support learning after incidents?

This training provides clarity without alarmism and preparation without rigidity. It strengthens both individual readiness and organizational integrity.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Participants will leave this training with:

  • A structured framework for recognizing and responding to escalating behavior
  • Clear criteria for emergency decision-making
  • Greater confidence navigating telehealth safety concerns
  • Practical documentation and reporting guidance
  • Tools for strengthening safety culture within their organizations
  • A steadier internal orientation rooted in preparation rather than fear
