SUMMARY:Aug. 13\, 2025 – Return to School 2025 Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:From the United States Secret Service \nNEW RELEASE: Aligning Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management with a Multi-tiered System of Support: Building a Continuum of Prevention and Intervention\n\nIn anticipation of the Fall 2025 return to school\, the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) will host a virtual event to highlight the Center’s latest release\, titled Aligning Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management with a Multi-tiered System of Support: Building a Continuum of Prevention and Intervention. NTAC’s newest publication focuses on how education practitioners can best align BTAM programs alongside multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in K-12 schools. This event will further highlight key findings and implications from NTAC’s decades of research and guidance on school violence prevention. \nDr. Kelsey Morris\, NTAC’s Education Program Specialist (biography below)\, will share insights from NTAC’s research on school safety by discussing the backgrounds\, thinking\, and behaviors of school attackers and how some schools have discovered and stopped plots before violence occurred. A case study of a student attacker will also be shared and highlight the role of social\, emotional\, behavioral health and wellbeing. Dr. Jennifer Freeman (biography below) will join on behalf of the Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to introduce new guidance from a joint publication with NTAC on aligning supports. Together\, Drs. Morris and Freeman will discuss how aligning and integrating BTAM with MTSS can create a more comprehensive\, proactive approach to prevention and intervention and lead to a safer school environment and better outcomes for students and staff. \nThis free virtual event is appropriate for educators\, school and district administrators\, counselors\, school psychologists\, BTAM team members and coordinators\, MTSS and PBIS leadership teams\, state education agency personnel\, law enforcement officers\, and other school safety partners. \nRegistrants will be emailed a Microsoft Teams link prior to the event \nEvent date: August 13\, 2025\nEvent time: 12:00-2:30 PM EST\nRegister Here\nAbout Dr. Kelsey Morris\, Education Program Specialist for NTAC \nDr. Morris is the Education Program Specialist for the U.S. Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC)\, where he oversees the analysis\, study\, and training of behavioral threat assessment programs in K-12 schools and institutes of higher education.
