Advanced Violence Risk Assessment and Management

This program is designed for professionals who already have basic knowledge and skills, but want to develop a high level of expertise. One day is devoted solely to formulation (case conceptualization) and scenario planning techniques; three days are devoted to practice in report writing, oral reports, and expert testimony; and one day is devoted to implementation issues. As this program has an evaluative component including multiple written and oral exercises, we offer a certificate confirming demonstration of competence to participants upon successful completion.
