Event Details


This is a two-day, in person comprehensive training that focuses on building a sustainable, community-based violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment system composed of school site-based Level 1 teams and a community-based Level 2 team. The Level 1 teams should include school administrators, school-based mental health professionals, and school resource officers. The Level 2 team should include district-level administrators and mental health and assessment practitioners, administrators, and practitioners from community mental health services, representatives from juvenile services and law enforcement, and other community agencies available to support the team. The training provides the following:

  • All of the forms, directions, and protocols necessary to implement a comprehensive preventive behavioral threat assessment system

  • A review of the basic concepts of violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment and management

  • A review of youth violence, examining research and best practice prescriptive recommendations for assessment and management

  • The application of threat assessment concepts and research in a site-based protocol, called a Level, as well as the Level 1 ancillary documents

  • Instruction on the use of the Level 1 protocol

  • Direct instruction on conducting Level 2 assessments

  • A review of a centralized and community-based Level 2 threat assessment system as support to each school district’s Level 1 teams and as a regional resource

  • A review of local and regional resources and implementation issues within each school district as well as available youth-serving agency support for a community-based, Level 2 team
