“I keep going back to CONCEPT Palo Alto University trainings because their trainers have a great deal of experience and expertise. In addition, the content of the trainings has practical application to my work and has enhanced my knowledge and skills. “Use of Violence Risk Assessment to Guide Treatment Planning in Forensic Settings” continues this trend, but also raises and addresses the important topic of how risk evaluations can be utilized to inform treatment planning. This training inspired me to think of the ways to improve in this area and add value to my risk evaluations, break down silos, increase communication between disciplines, increase safety, and improve patient outcomes. ”
