About this listen

In this episode, I dive into the critical psych tech responsibilities related to anger and aggression management. Learn the difference between anger and aggression, the predisposing factors that lead to violent behavior, and how to spot prodromal signs before a crisis occurs. I cover practical strategies for de-escalation, violence prevention, and the safe use of restraints and PRN medications, all within the scope of a psychiatric technician. You’ll also review the Brøset Violence Checklist, nursing diagnoses, and evidence-based interventions that might appear on the BVNPT exam. Whether you work in a hospital, jail, or behavioral health setting, this episode prepares you to recognize danger and respond with skill and confidence.
