Often there are warning signs that a student, employee, visitor, patient, customer, or some other individual is going to become violent. School, hospital, and college campus staff members and public safety officers must learn how to identify these signs so they can appropriately intervene before a situation escalates.
This training covers the characteristics of pre-attack indicators leading up to violent actions. It will cover the environment, including educational facilities, healthcare facilities, and business locations. This training integrates information from psychological, behavioral, and environmental factors, amplified by contemporary challenges.
Topics covered will include:

- The unaddressed psychological conditions of individuals we encounter
- How educators and healthcare providers can make decisions under stress
- Triggering events that have historically led to violence
