Join Dr. Mario Scalora and Dr. Denise Bulling in a one-day virtual workshop designed to provide practical information to guide implementation of behavioral threat assessment in a variety of settings (e.g., schools, communities). Behavioral threat assessment is a way to focus on observable actions and communications to detect patterns, ultimately determining if the person is moving toward an attack or violent action. Participants will have the opportunity during this workshop to:
1. Demonstrate understanding of the “Pathway to Violence” model.
2. Identify behavioral risk factors for targeted violence.
3. Evaluate communications for warning signs of targeted violence.
4. Justify levels of concern for targeted violence risk.
5. Apply the six steps of the threat assessment approach to case examples.
Speakers: Dr. Mario Scalora & Dr. Denise Bulling
