Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment (SIVRA-35)

Tuesday, September 24-Wednesday, September 25 | 10am-5pm ET

The Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment (SIVRA-35) is a 35-item inventory that is used to assist behavioral intervention team members and clinical staff in conducting a more thorough and research-based violence risk assessment. The SIVRA-35 is designed to assess the risk and protective factors related to an individual’s willingness to engage in violence.

This two-day course will provide in-depth teaching on how to conduct an effective interview and gather information to score an individual using the SIVRA-35. This will include strategies for increasing the likelihood of truthfulness, a discussion on how to phrase questions to probe for specific risk and protective factors, and the opportunity to watch demonstration videos and practice scoring them.

Learning Outcomes

  • Administer the SIVRA-35 tool in an interview through narrative, structured questions with individuals exhibiting a range of concerning behaviors.
  • Conduct a more standardized, research-based violence risk assessment with individuals determined to be at an increased risk.
  • Use a quantitative, numeric scoring key to assist in decision-making

Threat Management

Friday, September 27 | 10am-5pm ET

From managing affective, emotionally driven violence to responding to potential targeted or predatory violence, the presenters will discuss strategies for mitigating risk and increasing safety related to individuals who remain at the institution with a significant risk profile.

Relying on case studies, this course will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how to engage with a student following a violence risk assessment to reduce their risk, increase their protective factors, and enhance their ability to remain a safe member of the campus community. Presenters will discuss non-clinical interventions such as working with a case manager, employing progressive sanctions through the conduct process, and engaging student affairs professionals as support resources, as well as clinical strategies such as connecting the student with clinical treatment providers.

In this course, you will:

  • Learn how to manage high-risk individuals following a violence risk assessment
  • Learn specific strategies for decreasing risk factors and increasing protective factors for at risk individuals
  • Discuss how to engage various stakeholders and resources in the risk management process.
