Violence Risk Assessment Certification Course

Sponsored by the University System of Georgia, Mental Health Initiative

Through the use of case studies and demonstration training videos, attendees in this course will learn how to conduct violence risk assessments. Violence risk assessments (VRAs) are non-clinical assessments designed to better understand an individual’s likelihood of engaging in violence or harm.

In this course, you will:

• Explore case studies and practical examples involving threats of harm to others.
• Apply a structured interview and objective assessment tool to conduct an assessment related to the risk an individual who poses for harm to others.
• Assess online and written content for potential threatening or dangerous statements.

Visit the National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment (NABITA) website for more information.
