Managing Aggression and Working with those who use Violence

View descriptionShare

Many practitioners feel at a loss when working with people who use violence or aggression. In this episode, Peregrine Research Associate Dr Caitlin Miller talks to Dr Lisa Warren, a forensic and clinical psychologist and Clinical Director of Code Black Psychology, about working with people who use aggression or violence as a mental health practitioner. They talk about identifying and intervening with risks of harm to mental health practitioners and to others, and practical strategies practitioners can use today and in the future when working with this population.
