Abstract
The purpose of this improvement project is to increase staff's safety and confidence with regard to workplace violence. Throughout the healthcare system, workplace violence is a growing issue of concern and psychiatric healthcare settings increase the risk of workplace violence. The implementation site for this project is a 24-bed acute behavioral health unit located within a non-profit hospital. Due to the restrictions from the Covid 19 pandemic, staff at the site in which this improvement project took place did not have any in-person trainings for over two years. The aim of this project was to train 100% of staff on workplace violence prevention through an in-person format.
