Breakout Session D: From Posts to Prevention: Using Digital Leakage to Strengthen Threat Assessment in Schools
Description

Students often reveal warning signs online before incidents of violence or self-harm occur. This session explores how digital leakage—social media posts, group chats, and online behaviors—can serve as early indicators of risk. Drawing from emerging research and real-world practice, attendees will learn how to integrate digital information into multidisciplinary threat assessment, balance safety with privacy, and strengthen early intervention efforts in K–12 schools.
