Education, Prevention, and Mitigation

for Violence in the Workplace

 
 
 

Training for the Moment that Matters Most

Preparing staff to act, not freeze, under pressure


We don't rise to the occasion—we sink to the level of our training.


When an interaction begins to escalate, staff need more than information. They need practiced skills, clear response pathways, and the confidence to apply what they've learned under pressure.


AVADE® Workplace Violence Prevention Training helps organizations build those capabilities through three critical components:

1. Awareness: Recognize Risk Early

Effective workplace violence prevention begins long before a crisis occurs.

Staff learn to recognize behaviors and warning signs that may indicate someone is becoming increasingly stressed, frustrated, or unable to manage their emotions and behavior. Early recognition creates opportunities to intervene appropriately, use effective de-escalation strategies, and reduce the potential for further escalation.


2. Vigilance & Applied Skills: Turn Knowledge Into Action

Knowing what to do is different from being able to do it under pressure.

Through repetition and practice, staff develop the ability to apply awareness to real-world situations. This helps build practical skills and reinforces clear response pathways when an interaction becomes challenging.


3. Practical Simulations: Build Confidence Through Practice

Simulation-based training gives staff an opportunity to practice responding to realistic situations in a controlled environment. Hands-on practice helps reduce hesitation, improve decision-making, minimize confusion, and reinforce appropriate responses when seconds matter.

Awareness builds knowledge. Skills build competence. Simulations build confidence.


Don't leave your staff's response to chance.
