Violence Threat Risk Assessment Training
Level One Violence Threat Risk Assessment Training Workshop
Multidisciplinary collaboration improves both assessment and intervention in a variety of applications, from policing, mental health, population health, and social engagement projects, to Violence Threat Risk Assessment™ (VTRA™).
The Center for Trauma-Informed Practices (CTIP) developed a comprehensive VTRA™ community protocol that binds agencies and service providers for a common and consistent practice of violence risk assessment, prevention, and intervention.
Community, Regional, and Program Specific VTRA Protocols Include:
- Roles and responsibilities
- Evidence-based variables and data collection processes
- Information sharing guidelines
- Procedures for assessing levels of risk
- Data-driven interventions for stabilization
- Comprehensive strategies for lasting solutions
- Early intervention and prevention
