Life Skills for Crisis Moments - Tony Jace, CEO of Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI)

What this episode covers

Healthcare workers are three times more likely to experience violent episodes on the job than workers in all other industries combined. Still, argues Tony Jace, there is no reason why they should be going home at night bruised or abused. He and his team at the Crisis Prevention Institute train professionals worldwide in nonviolent techniques, strategies, and interventions that can help them manage “life's daily crisis moments.” In this episode of Raise the Line, Jace and host Dr. Rishi Desai discuss CPI's inspiring work and why it's so important to get this knowledge out, not only to healthcare workers and families, but to all citizens. Listen in to discover how empathy and controlling our own behavior can greatly improve outcomes. Plus, learn about deinstitutionalization, the impact of COVID on the field of mental healthcare, and the importance of being a continuous learner and working as a team.
