Safe Table Forum

Behind Closed Doors 2: Worker and Patient Safety when Intimate Partner Violence Threatens

December 11, 2025 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM PT

Behind the Door 2” goes beyond the conversation to taking action in a protected environment–a safe table. Join us for this interactive session where you will be challenged to step into the real world of risk, policy, and prevention. As we discussed, nearly half of all healthcare worker homicides are committed by current or former intimate partners. Bring your organization’s IPV policies, your clinical judgment, and your lived experiences—we’ll bring the case scenarios that make it real. Together, we’ll walk through two intense, high-risk workplace IPV events and ask: Are we truly ready? 

Participants will collaborate live to evaluate threats, propose staff safety responses, and identify key protection gaps using a structured framework for violence risk assessment. Whether you’re in leadership, HR, security, or frontline care, this session will equip you with sharper tools and a shared sense of responsibility to stop violence before it walks through your doors. Don’t miss this vital, solutions-focused conversation.

Presentation topics include:

  • Identify behavioral and environmental indicators of predatory IPV incidents
  • Analyze and compare IPV response processes and capabilities through scenario-based discussion of IPV response capabilities, protocols, tactics, and strategies in a virtual collaborative peer learning setting
  • Foster safer, more proactive care environments by integrating cross-disciplinary insights from policy, practice, and real-world experience.
