Recognizing + managing Risk Indicators of Targeted Violence

Now more than ever, increased awareness and best-practices training on how to respond when an individual makes or poses a threat is essential in today’s environment. Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management is the 1) systematic and evidence-based process of identifying those who are exhibiting patterns of concerning behavior that indicate an interest, motive, intention, or capability of carrying out an act of violence; 2) the subsequent investigation to assess whether an individual poses a threat; and 3) management of such a threat, if necessary. This highly engaging workshop uses case studies and table top exercises, and describes targeted violence, explains the pathway to violence model, identifies violence risk indicators and “behaviors of concern,” and clarifies options for responding to concerning, threatening, and dangerous behaviors.
