Who We Are.

TIDE was founded by nurse and educator Misty Carey, who has nursed across hospitals, remote communities, prisons and international humanitarian settings. TIDE has been built through collaborations with people dedicated to their communities, including First Nations leaders, consumer representatives and healthcare security experts.

Why TIDE Education.

Violence and aggression in healthcare isn’t getting better—and tick-box training isn’t changing it.

For too long, organisations have relied on programs that teach people what to do in a crisis, but not why people escalate or how to prevent it in the first place. The result? Staff still feel unsafe, patients continue to experience restrictive responses, and organisations struggle to create lasting cultural change.

At TIDE Education, we believe de-escalation starts long before behaviour becomes a crisis.

Our evidence-informed, trauma-informed programs combine neuroscience, communication, simulation, virtual reality, AI-supported practice, and lived experience to build the confidence, capability, and clinical judgement professionals need in real-world situations.

We don’t just teach techniques. We transform how people understand distress, respond under pressure, and build safer interactions.

“I gained skills in putting a lens over how we may have impacted or escalated situations and helping to instill that awareness with other staff.”

“VR was very helpful for different situations. When you practice in real life- saying something and seeing the reaction- you learn deeply. I got a lot out of TIDE’s training.”

Maria

“I think that providing a lifelike scenario where you can virtually interact with an respond to, is very helpful when navigating situations in real life. I found TIDE’s workshop very informative and insightful.”

Nicole
