This training is designed for school-based threat assessment teams to answer key questions on establishing threat assessment processes within your school, district and community. This training will not only explore questions related to the principles of threat assessment such as behaviors, communication, and follow-up, but it will also focus on training the teams in the use of the evidence-based Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines tool established by Dr. Dewey Cornell and apply it to real world scenarios. A school triage team includes, at the minimum, an administrator, a mental health professional, and a school resource officer or other law enforcement representative. We STRONGLY encourage schools and districts to have ALL triage team members attend on the same date. There will be exercises and case studies that teams will work through together to help establish their own processes and protocols.
