Next Steps in School Violence Prevention: 
Advanced Training & Case Management

This training opportunity is made possible through a grant focused on enhancing existing statewide school safety initiatives. The goal is to improve school safety by implementing and maintaining an evidence-based behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) program to prevent school violence and promote a positive school environment.

Key components include:

  • Delivering advanced training in behavioral threat assessment case management.

  • Providing program implementation and sustainability support for Tennessee schools.

  • Optional implementation of electronic case management system.

Community of Practice Meetings

The Tennessee School-Based Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM) Community of Practice is hosted by Safe and Sound Schools and Navigate360 to support Tennessee schools in sustaining effective threat assessment and management practices. These sessions bring together BTAM teams from across the state to discuss shared challenges, questions, and guidance related to implementing BTAM in schools, as well as to exchange strategies, success stories, and resources.

How to attend a virtual meeting: Participants can register for a Community of Practice virtual meeting when they sign up for an in-person Level 3 Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM) Training. If you’ve already registered for a future Level 3 training or previously attended one, you can modify your registration to add a Community of Practice meeting and join the conversation online.
