Behavioral Threat Assessment Teams

Behavioral Threat Assessment Teams are groups of professionals, typically within schools or organizations, focused on identifying and addressing potential threats or harmful behavior before they escalate. They work collaboratively to analyze concerning behavior, gathering information from various sources such as teachers, parents, or coworkers. The team includes experts in mental health, law enforcement, and education, who assess risks and develop intervention strategies. By fostering a supportive environment and promoting communication, these teams aim to prevent violence and ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
