1 hour | 1 CE
This on-demand professional training program on the Importance of Risk Communication: Oral Reports and Feedback Sessions is presented by Kelly A. Watt, PhD, in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
Risk communication is one of the most important and challenging strategies for ensuring management strategies are implemented and violence is prevented. This program focuses on best practices related to the structure, content, and process of oral reports and feedback reports. Case illustrations are used to highlight both promising practices and challenging issues when delivering oral reports and feedback reports (e.g., navigating the tension between an individual’s right to privacy and a professional’s or organization’s duty to protect). This program is appropriate for those new to the violence risk/threat assessment field, as well as experienced professionals looking for an update on issues and best practices related to risk communication.
