Are you interested in attending this Threat Assessment workshop on May 3-4? If so, please let me know as soon as possible. We can send a couple people from EET . . .
Background
High profile college and university shootings in Canada and the United States, as well as terrorist attacks and other high profile violent traumas, have understandably increased anxiety among many students, staff, faculty, parents and others. Without formal procedures in schools and communities to assess high risk and threat making behavior, the likelihood of over-reacting or under-reacting is increased.
In 2000, Lethbridge College and the Canadian Threat Assessment Training Board collaborated in the development of a “Threat Assessment Training (TAT)” program initiative to train multidisciplinary Threat/Risk Assessment Teams. This protocol was developed by J. Kevin Cameron and Deborah Sawyer as part of the Threat Assessment Training program.
The general purpose of a TAT protocol in college and university jurisdictions is to assist in creating and maintaining an environment where students, staff, faculty and others feel safe. The primary purpose of the multidisciplinary TAT protocol is to identify indicators that suggest a person of concern may be moving on a pathway towards violence against him/herself or others and intervene to decrease that risk, prevent injury, and support the individual in receiving the help he or she needs to address the issues contributing to the high-risk behavior.
