DisturbanceIf you are a victim or a witness of a verbally abusive individual or disruptive event:

  • Stay calm and be supportive to others who may be experiencing verbal abuse.
  • If you can, remove yourself or the targeted staff member to his/her office and lock the door.
  • Attempt to diffuse the situation. Acknowledge anger, but calmly ask the abusive person to leave.
