I have attended the ӰԺ Threat Assessment and Management training and have sent several of my department leaders. Sheridan and Jonathan’s work on this educational program effectively combines the processes and reasoning from threat assessment experts in the field and the application of this work to the unique healthcare conditions we work within. This training was well worth our time and has effectively driven our work in resolving threats and being able to effectively explain our rationale for each action.
