NABITA’s Industry-Leading Tools
NABITA has developed four proprietary tools designed to assess threats, evaluate the likelihood of violence, and measure an individual’s risk of self-harm. Each tool seamlessly adapts to various institutional settings, including K-12 schools, districts, colleges, universities, and workplaces.

Practitioners can tailor assessments to individual circumstances while maintaining structure and consistency across cases.
Threat and Violence Risk Assessment
NABITA’s Risk Rubric
The NABITA Risk Rubric sets a new standard in comprehensive risk assessment. Unlike other tools in the industry, it doesn’t just evaluate existing threats—it also identifies low-level, pre-threat behaviors, empowering practitioners to detect emerging risks early. Far more than a simple checklist, the rubric provides a nuanced understanding of an individual’s risk and protective factors. By using this tool, you can minimize liability, avoid overreacting or underreacting, and implement fair, equitable interventions. Register for a NABITA Risk Rubric training to learn how to properly apply this objective risk assessment tool.
