Healthcare accounts for 73% of all workplace violence incidents, and workers in this field are five times more likely to be attacked than those in any other profession. Unfortunately, the violence continues to rise each year.
Current workplace violence prevention programs are outdated and ineffective, leading to serious injuries for both patients and staff, and contributing to a growing number of healthcare professionals leaving the field.
Gracie Medical Defense (GMD) aims to transform healthcare by offering comprehensive safety solutions that actually work. GMD focuses on threat assessment, verbal de-escalation and distance management as top priorities, while also teaching physical de-escalation techniques for worst-case scenarios in standing, bedside, and grounded encounters.
Using a train-the-trainer model, GMD empowers healthcare institutions to spread these life-saving skills to all their staff members. Once certified, all employees gain 24/7 online access to the full GMD curriculum, enabling individualized training even when in-person sessions are not possible.
With over 100 years of experience in overcoming violence through physical de-escalation and control, the Gracie family is finally bringing its knowledge and expertise to where it’s needed most.
