Workplace Threat Assessment
We provide research-supported Violence Risk Triage and Violence Risk Assessment services to help your organization make consistent, defensible decisions when faced with a potential threat of violence.
When a safety concern arises, you need a clear process to sort out the "noise" from the truly important cases and decide on the right organizational response. Our Workplace Threat Assessment services provide a structured, evidence-based approach to help you manage these critical situations effectively.
Our consulting services are designed to support you at every stage:
Risk Triage: A process to help you make defensible decisions about which violence risks require attention and how to prioritize them. This includes a complementary Verbal Triage service to help your organization prioritize a specific case where a staff member is worried about their safety.
Violence Risk Assessment: A thorough process that assesses the risk a specific individual poses to your workplace. We help you understand the context of past events and develop scenarios to guide case management and keep employees safe.
Case Support & Program Review: We provide expert support for your internal Threat Assessment and Management Team on high-risk or complex cases. We can also conduct audits of the tools and processes your teams currently use.
