School Behavioral Threat Assessment Training (TxSSC)

Behavioral threat assessments provide a proactive, evidence-based approach for identifying individuals who may pose a threat and for providing interventions before a violent incident occurs. This course meets the mandated training requirement for Behavioral Threat Assessment Teams.
