Safety Awareness for Frontline Teams (SAF-T CARE)

 Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner 

With over 20 years of experience in complex psychiatric care, I provide specialized training for medical professionals working with pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients at risk of harm behaviors. My approach goes beyond traditional crisis intervention—focusing on preventative strategies that mitigate risks before escalation while ensuring essential medical care is completed safely and effectively.

​

My Mission

I equip medical professionals with practical, evidence-based tools to improve safety, reduce workplace violence, and minimize medical trauma for patients. Whether in outpatient clinics, ICUs, general medical units, operating rooms, or emergency settings, my trainings help staff navigate the unique challenges of providing care to patients with complex psychiatric and behavioral needs.

What Makes My Training Different?

Unlike traditional de-escalation programs that focus on crisis response, my trainings emphasize:
✔ Proactive, preventative strategies to reduce escalation and harm risk.
✔ Practical techniques to safely complete medical exams, procedures, and interventions.
✔ Tailored approaches for different healthcare settings, from outpatient visits to high-acuity hospital care.
