The Vermont School Safety Center is pleased to present School Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM) training designed to prevent active shooter incidents and other targeted violence in our schools and school districts. This virtual training introduces the concept of threat assessment and includes guidance and resources for forming and implementing a team in your school or district.
