Apply Evidence-Based Tools to Evaluate and Address Risks and Threats
Develop both foundational and advanced skills to understand and manage violence risk and threats in campus settings.

Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment (SIVRA)
The SIVRA (Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment) is a research-based tool designed to deliver a consistent and objective evaluation of an individual’s risk of violence toward others. This assists Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) in proactively addressing the risk and protective factors that influence an individual’s willingness to engage in violence.
Originally developed in 2012, the current version of SIVRA taught in this course is an enhanced version featuring a refined assessment system focusing on 21 risk factors for violence, grounded in the most recent research. It includes an improved user guide, along with supplemental materials such as an interview template and suggested interview questions. Users familiar with the previous version will find the new tool better organized, with clearer descriptions of risk factors and easier scoring.

Building an Individualized Threat Management Plan
This one-day certification course focuses on how to build and implement a practical threat management plan following a violence risk assessment (VRA).
After completing our SIVRA course, participants are equipped with the necessary skills to assess a broad spectrum of risks posed by individuals. This course not only broadens that skill set but also empowers practitioners to apply assessment findings effectively. Participants will learn how to manage and mitigate risks identified during the Violence Risk Assessment (VRA), enhance protective measures, and bolster an individual’s capacity to positively impact their campus community.
