Violence Recognition & Response in Schools
Learn to identify and respond effectively to potential harm. Join us to gain specific information on how to create a safer, more secure, and more connected environment for your school.
The Course.
To effectively address school violence we must improve our capability of understanding violence risk factors and how to address them in a team environment. This training will include information on threat assessment and management regarding behaviors of concern, legal updates for your staff and facility, target hardening considerations for your locations, as well as information on handling domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse connected to your students and even staff members. Beyond threat assessment and management, we bring discussions surrounding school culture, connectivity, and communication. It is here that we seek to begin the greatest change for your school’s culture and engagement.
This course is a guide for everyone - including schools from K-12 and all secondary education facilities - to help change the way your school operates for a safer, happier, and healthier environment.
The Content.
Held Tuesday - Thursday, with an optional Friday training day, we maximize the information for your staff to accomplish as much as effectively possible within the training time.

Day 4: Strangulation & Our Schools
This additional day addresses both teen and adult dating violence, as well as pediatric strangulation as a form of child abuse. When strangulation often occurs without any marks left on the victim and many victims are unable to recognize the dangerousness of this abuse, how do we address or combat this violence as a school? Learn how certain oppositional behavior in your students may be a result of traumatic brain injury from strangulation and how strangulation is used as an abuse tactic.

Instructors
You will leave this course wanting more. Instructors for this course are not just providing a theoretical application of information, but have been in the field of violence recognition and response for years. Each of them has worked with large and small audiences across the nation on these topics, with a specific requirement in choosing training content that will be immediately applicable for each attendee’s agency and facility. They practice strong attendee engagement and are dedicated to addressing school violence through violence recognition and response with realistic changes. Each of these instructors is a sought after trainer in their own right, but they have joined together for these presentations to help address school violence.
It is time to make a difference.
