About The Course

Therapeutic settings often involve working with individuals experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, or behavioural instability. This can occasionally result in aggressive or violent behaviour. Effective management requires understanding the psychological, social, and environmental factors that contribute to aggression.

This course focuses on equipping healthcare and social care professionals with the tools needed to recognise triggers, communicate effectively in high-stress situations, and respond safely using therapeutic principles rather than punitive measures. Learners will also explore the ethical and legal considerations in managing aggression to ensure professional accountability and patient dignity.
