Sometimes professionals are at risk from violence by the very people they are sent to help. "The Safe Approach: Controlling Risk for Workers in the Helping Professions" is a guide for these social workers, nurses, and other professionals, meant to help people called to serve outside of an established medical institution stay safe when things turn sour. With advice on spotting warning signs of violence, how to stop the worst from happening, and dealing with the worst when it happens regardless, "The Safe Approach" is highly recommended for community library jobs and career collections and a must-read for anyone in the nursing and social work fields.
