About this Webinar

Workplace violence encompasses a range of behaviors that involve acts or threats of violence towards employees occurring within the workplace. These behaviors can include verbal abuse, bullying, harassment, physical assaults, and even the extreme act of homicide. Data reveals that healthcare workers face a significantly higher risk of encountering workplace violence compared to workers in other industries. This alarming statistic indicates that healthcare professionals are five times more likely to experience such incidents. A recent survey conducted by National Nurses United in 2022 further supports this concerning trend, with 40 percent of hospital nurses reporting an upsurge in violent episodes within their workplace. In this session, the speaker will discuss types of violence, risk factors, preventive measures, and de-escalation techniques and tips.


What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify each of the four major types of inpatient violence
  • Discuss strategies to manage each major type of violence
  • Employ at least two strategies to manage each major type of violence

About this Webinar

In NH we value that everyone lives freely, but that means ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to thrive. We know that organizations strive to ensure this opportunity by providing high quality services that are accessible to all in NH – yet achieving this can be challenging. Many of us have simply not had access to training about an effective approach that would turn our goals into broader success. The good news is that a roadmap exists; there is a framework to provide high quality services for all called the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework, and this framework is the roadmap.


What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the Culturally Effective Organizations Framework and its 7 elements
  • Discuss why the Framework is helpful in promoting a more equitable workplace
  • Reflect on how to apply this framework to their own organization

About this Webinar

Traditionally, public health and the medical society relied on abdicating the responsibility to the patient and expecting the patient to improve their health. For example, a pre-diabetic patient is given health and nutrition education and is expected to adjust their diet and exercise to improve their health, leaving the responsibility to the patient. In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the importance of building public health solidarity between the provider, public health professional, government agencies, and the community to respond effectively to various health conditions and future pandemics. This session will discuss the collective experience of COVID-19, rebuilding trust and expertise, and understanding risk mitigation. The speaker will present a COVID-19 case study and engage attendees in group discussions.


What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the collective experience of COVID-19.
  • Explain how to rebuild trust and expertise post-COVID.
  • Identify, prioritize, and evaluate risks.

About this Webinar

This webinar will examine the various aspects of resource management in health care, health organizations and nonprofits. Resource management is the evidence-based process by which health care organizations effectively distribute human, capital, supply and data resources in a manner that assures operational and financial stability for the organization and quality care for individuals. 

Traditionally in health and social service organizations, resource management and fiscal and budgeting responsibilities have been the purview of the chief financial officer, accountants, and budget analysts. However, today, front-line managers are being called upon to integrate fiscal planning and resource management into their clinical and operational responsibilities. 

This program is intended for public health leaders who have limited knowledge, skills and experience with resource and financial management and or those wish to review and/or refresh their knowledge of fiscal principles.


What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the major resources in health care requiring a management approach
  • Identify strategies and tools to monitor resource utilization
  • Explain possible performance deviations through a variance analysis process
  • Identify strategies for performance improvement in the resource management process


This webinar is recorded and made available within 2 business days of the webinar close. Please log in to view the recording in the section "View a Recording of the Webinar. "
