Violence Prevention Resources
"Trusting relationships between PMH nurses and individuals, families, and members of the community are essential elements in the effort to prevent most types of violence. Through these relationships, PMH nurses are positioned to be at the forefront of violence prevention efforts by assessing risk factors, providing counseling and education, and acting as role models while actively working to change cultural norms related to violence."
