Education, Prevention, and Mitigation
for Violence in the Workplace
|
| |
Awareness builds knowledge. Skills build competence. Simulation builds confidence.
During a violent encounter, staff do not recall slide decks. They rely on muscle memory, practiced skills, and clear response pathways.
- Awareness is essential — but awareness alone creates intellectual understanding.
- Vigilance and applied skills training develops motor learning.
- Simulation develops stress-tested confidence.
The difference between knowing and performing can determine outcomes.
AVADE® Workplace Violence Prevention was built as a structured three-level system:
| | Level I establishes universal prevention through awareness, de-escalation, and behavioral recognition. | |
| Level II develops applied self-defense and defense-of-others capabilities. | |
| Level III introduces structured defensive control tactics for managing actively assaultive individuals. | |
|
