Behavioral threat assessment teams in schools are essential for identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to ensure a safe learning environment. These multidisciplinary teams, comprised of educators, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and administrators, work collaboratively to evaluate concerning behaviors and intervene before situations escalate. By focusing on prevention and early intervention, they provide support to individuals in crisis while addressing potential risks. This proactive approach fosters a culture of safety and trust, reduces disciplinary actions, and promotes well-being. Behavioral threat assessment teams are a vital component of comprehensive school safety strategies, protecting both students and staff.
