How safe to you feel working in mental health sector?

I may have an opportunity to leave the nursing home and go into mental health. For someone who works at one, how safe do you feel there? Should I be too worried about people who like to attack people? Thanks. One place is the local hospitals mh facility where my friend works, and the other is a state run facility.
