About this Event
***This training is open only to Mental Health & Addiction Staff within Health PEI unless otherwise stated.***
Acute Mental health settings are complex and they place unique demands on staff. We expect staff to manage serious risks and maintain the right balance between care and security. There is often a tension between care and security. The tension can sometimes be viewed as negative but it can be positive too. The tension keeps care and security in balance. There are 3 core elements of security in secure mental health services.
– physical security, procedural security & relational security
