Mind Springs Health & West Springs Hospital’s Post

In a Free Press article written in April of 2023, columnist Tom Brodbeck wrote, “Under provincial regulations, Institutional Safety Officers must be trained in public safety, crime prevention, arrests, searches and seizures, use of force and officer safety, note-taking, court preparation and mental health awareness. They must wear distinctive uniforms with “institutional safety officer” displayed on the chest.” Particularly when we reflect on yesterday’s post about the effects of under resourcing the system, it’s clear that radical change involves more than the basics. It’s clear we need to look at our systems more holistically - because each deficit impacts another. It's time to get ISOs trained and the necessary measures in place for them to do the job sufficiently. But it’s also clear we need social change for progress. More affordable housing. More supports for people in need. #TimeForRadicalChange

At PAVE Prevention, we understand that the potential for violent occurrences is everywhere at any time. Even when we experience violence outside the workplace, it can have a profound impact on all parts of our lives, including our work.  Performance can be affected by several factors following the experience of violence, including emotional distress, impaired concentration, and the strain put on interpersonal relationships in the aftermath of such events. PAVE Prevention training offers tools that, in addition to preventing violent occurrences, can also be used to heal from and mitigate these effects.  Find out more today at https://lnkd.in/geRNpJYa. #HumanSafetySkills #paveprevention
