Session Time and Location

The live session is complete.

Target Audience

This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other health care professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.

Session Summary

Pharmacists do not typically receive training on how to triage violence risk in training nor once in practice. Although the vast majority of individuals who suffer from a major mental disorder do not engage in violence, there is an important and complex association between mental disorder and violence risk. As such, psychiatric pharmacist awareness of the warning signs for future violence is increasingly important as the level of autonomy in practice continues to expand. Therefore, psychiatric pharmacists could benefit from training and education in order to competently triage violence risk and incorporate evidence based tools into treatment planning. This programming will provide participants with the necessary information to identify and respond to warning signs for violence risk and to incorporate these skills into practice when it is deemed appropriate.
