WEBINAR: Campus Threat Assessment Teams

On April 21, 2009 (2pm-3:30pm ET), Dr. Gene Deisinger and I will provide the web-based training seminar, "Threat Assessment Teams: Creating Teams and Managing Threats." This webinar, which is being hosted by Paperclip Communications, is designed for those working in higher education settings but is also appropriate for anyone interested in threat assessment teams and their functioning.

We will discuss how to create an effective multi-disciplinary team on campus; how to identify students or employees of concern and determine whether they pose any threat; and how to intervene to stop potential violence and provide assistance to persons in need. We will also talk about the roles and responsibilities of individual team members, sample agendas for team meetings, and strategies for maximizing communications -- to the team, among team members, and from the team to the campus community.

This webinar is appropriate for student affairs officers, judicial affairs officers, human resources and employee assistance personnel, legal counsel, campus law enforcement, administrators, counseling center staff, and anyone else interested in or responsible for campus safety and/or student and employee welfare.
