Everyday Self Defense® for Social Workers 6 Hour CE Class for Kansas Social Workers

Everyday Self Defense® offers a 6-hour online CE course that is approved by the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (SP 13-006). This course meets the safety CE requirement for social workers licensed by the state of Kansas. The cost of the course is $99. 

Based on Janet Nelson's live presentations, the Everyday Self Defense online course includes audio, video and a slide presentation.   It gives each student access to a downloadable edition of the Everyday Self Defense training manual at no additional charge.  There are four open book tests with true-false and multiple choice questions.  The student is NOT required to complete the course in one sitting.  You can start and stop as necessary.  When you have completed the four tests with a minimum of 70% correct answers, you can print a certificate that documents your successful completion of the course for continuing education credit. Students who complete the course can request access to the private Everyday Self Defense YouTube channel for free ongoing practice of physical techniques. 

Personal Safety Awareness for Home Care Workers

This basic interactive course is intended for ANY type of home care worker who has a concern for his or her safety on the job. It emphasizes planning and preparation to prevent and avoid violence or intimidation. The multimedia presentation includes slides, videos, audio voice overs and a downloadable/printable set of personal safety tip sheets. After viewing all sections of the course, there is a short true-false review test that must be completed before a course completion certificate can be printed. The course takes about an hour to complete.

The cost of the course is $39.  Group discounts are available and can be negotiated by sending Janet Nelson a message through the Contact button.  Make sure you include the size of your group.

Personal Safety Awareness for Managers and Supervisors of Home Care Workers

The multimedia presentation includes slides, videos, audio voice overs and a downloadable/printable set of personal safety tip sheets. After viewing all sections of the course, there is a short true-false review test that must be completed before a course completion certificate can be printed.

This course includes all of the material in the home care workers course with additional information specifically for managers and supervisors.  While the course for workers emphasizes personal awareness strategies, the supervisory course adds recommendations to improve the safety climate in your entire organization.  It also includes an expanded tip sheet package with a complete list of safety resources available on the Internet. The course takes about one hour to complete. 

The cost of the course is $49.  Group discounts are available and can be negotiated by sending Janet Nelson a message through the Contact button.  Make sure you include the size of your group.

Everyday Self Defense® for Human Service Workers

Modeled after our live six-hour Everyday Self Defense® course, this online course enables any interested health or human service worker to follow a slide show, participate in audio visualizations, watch and practice a variety of simple but effective self-defense moves, and download and read parts of our printable 80-page training manual.

This course goes into greater depth than the home care worker courses, particularly in the area of physical techniques.  It takes approximately six hours to complete, though it need not be completed at one time.  There are four open book tests that must be completed before you can print a course completion certificate.  The cost of the course is $99.  Group discounts are available and can be negotiated by sending Janet Nelson a message through the Contact button.  Make sure you include the size of your group.

Everyday Self Defense® for Social Workers 4.5 CEs (Currently awaiting CE approval)

Everyday Self Defense® for Social Workers 4.5 CEs is an interactive workplace safety course designed for social workers concerned with security threats in everyday situations at work and in the field. Proactive personal safety awareness skills, protective communications skills, and the practice of simple yet effective self-defense moves provide the basis for this 4.5 CE self-protection course.
Learning Objectives
  •  Apply Person-in-Environment social work theory to assess personal safety risks to better ensure safe clinical and non-clinical practice in any setting.
  •  Develop and demonstrate centering and breathing skills to remain calm, assess threats and think of options to keep both client and worker safe in threatening situations.
  •  Apply how assessing and using the environment provides self-protection tools through body positioning, use of common objects and knowledge of escape routes.
  • Show physical self-defense positions and moves that relate to preventing, avoiding, and escaping violence in non-harming ways.
  •  Explain how to manage conflict and de-escalate the threat of violence in the workplace by applying assertiveness skills to establish boundaries, identifying conflict avoidance methods and naming communication skills common to social work practice.
  • Summarize how the safety skills of awareness, balance and control are used physically and mentally to assess threatening clients and situations to help maintain integrity in daily social work practice.
You are asked to open the 80-page training handbook and read parts as you follow a slide show, participate in audio and video activities, including practicing personal safety awareness skills and self-defense moves. You are not required to complete the course in one sitting. 
Your work will be saved.  You may not re-take a test once completed.  Upon passing with an
 80%+ grade, and completion of a short evaluation, a certificate documenting 4.5 CEs earned is available.  Students who complete the course can request access to the private Everyday Self Defense® YouTube channel for free ongoing practice of physical techniques. 

The cost of the course is $89. Group discounts are available and can be negotiated by sending Janet Nelson a message through the Contact button.  Make sure you include the size of your group.

Participant Comments About Online Classes 

"I just completed the online self defense course and wanted to thank you for all your efforts on behalf of social workers and others. Although the course was long the information was very good and presented well. I would recommend it to others.  I feel I got my money's worth."

"I just finished the online safety class and found it very beneficial. Thanks for offering.  I have passed the information on to my social work network of friends."

"I would first like to thank you for putting together such a wonderful course for persons who work with clients in their homes. Again, thank you, so much, for such a wonderful, wonderful course. I’m full of new knowledge thanks to you."

"
The steps to prepare myself before leaving for a home visit were a great check list, ensuring that I know as much as I can before the client and have clear directions to their home, as well as something about the neighborhood that I will be entering. I had not thought about asking who else would be home, but this makes sense. The activity where we closed our eyes and envisioned different rooms in our home and what could be used as a shield or a weapon was very useful. Prior to this I would have thought the kitchen was a safe place to meet. The hint to always keep an eye out for exits is something my dad always reminded me of doing related to fire emergencies, but I see now this is useful for many emergencies.  I appreciate and acknowledge the importance of preventing a situation from becoming dangerous though awareness, balance, control, and de-escalation techniques. In addition, the tip to have an excuse ready for you to leave should any illegal or suspicious behavior be occurring was great."

"The course was great, very informative and I learned a lot. Many of your thoughts and tips I would have never known and neither would many of my co-workers. The time frame to complete the course was perfect."
