This one-day (4-hour) training will cover the basic concepts of threat assessment with a focus on youth risk factors.

Training will provide a brief review of supportive research and best practice prescriptive recommendations for assessment and management.  Will also provide an application of threat assessment concepts and research in a site-based protocol called a Level 1.  Will include case review and lab exercises demonstrating the Level 1 threat assessment process.

Will include direct instruction on conducting Level 1 threat assessments at a school level, including the process for referral to a community-based Level 2 threat assessment support team.

Target Audience: school administrators, counselors, school psychologists, SROs, case managers (i.e. IEP/504 Special Education staff), and multi-disciplinary and Level 1 teams.
