Schedule
Sunday 27th July 2025
Investigative Threat Assessment Process Certification Course (Extra Fee Required) 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Location: Primrose 1-4
Investigative Threat Assessment Process (ITAP), our behavioral threat assessment and management model, teaches a fact-based, systematic process designed to IDENTIFY, INQUIRE, ASSESS, and MANAGE potentially dangerous or violent subjects. A key goal is to distinguish between an individual who MAKES a threat versus one who POSES a threat. Threat Assessment teams and programs are designed to address any behavior or communication that raises concern that a person or situation may pose a danger to the safety of the school, campus, or workplace.

Pre-Conference Session #2 - Enhancing School Safety through Mental Health Awareness: Notice. Talk. Act at School 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Location: Primrose Hall 6-9
Presenter: Kate Berg
Ensuring school safety extends beyond physical security measures; it requires a proactive approach to recognizing and addressing student mental health concerns before they escalate into crises. This interactive session introduces the Notice. Talk. Act. at School framework, a trauma-informed approach designed to help all school personnel, including teachers, support staff, School Resource Officers (SROs) and safety personnel, identify early warning signs of mental health challenges, engage in supportive conversations, and connect students to appropriate resources.
Participants will gain practical strategies to strengthen school climates by fostering connectedness, trust, and early intervention, ultimately reducing risks of harm to self or others. This session will empower educators, SROs and school safety personnel with tools to enhance their role as trusted adults in the school community.
