Founded upon more than two decades of comprehensive research, BDTA® represents the first-of-its-kind multidisciplinary model that seamlessly integrates Safer Schools Together's Digital Threat Assessment® (DTA®) methodology with best practices from the National Threat Assessment Center's (NTAC) Behavioral Threat Assessment model. BDTA® provides a comprehensive framework that recognizes a critical reality of today's threat landscape: meaningful threat assessment cannot be conducted without examining both behavioral and digital evidence.
Join us to explore a revolutionary lens on threat assessment, where the integration of behavioral and digital intelligence leads to more accurate assessments, stronger interventions, and improved violence prevention outcomes. Through a structured three-step response plan of screening, assessing, and managing, BDTA® equips Safety/Threat Assessment teams with the tools necessary to identify concerns early, determine levels of risk, and implement effective intervention strategies.
Safety/Threat Assessment teams will leave with practical strategies and essential skills to strengthen their assessment practices through BDTA®, ensuring they are equipped to recognize, assess, and respond to both behavioral and online indicators of concern before violence occurs.
