Violence Risk Assessment of the Written Word (VRAWW)

Tuesday, September 16 | 10:00am-5:00pm ET

Access to online communication and rising emotional health challenges have led to a significant uptick in written communications that could be perceived as aggressive and threatening. BIT/ TAT/CARE teams are often tasked with identifying whether an individual’s emails, social media, and discussion board posts show a risk or threat of violence. This one-day certification course provides teams with a straightforward process for triaging concerns found in written narratives.

NABITA’s Violence Risk Assessment of the Written Word (VRAWW) is a comprehensive tool designed to evaluate the risk of violence evident in an individual’s narrative content, including social media posts, class writings, journals, blog posts, video narratives, and more. This training certifies participants in using VRAWW and is NABITA’s recommended training on the tool. VRAWW offers an objective approach by considering an individual’s escalating and mitigating factors as well as research on past violent attacks.Click here to learn more.

Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment (SIVRA)

Wednesday, September 17- Thursday, September 18 | 10:00am-5:00pm ET

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.

This two-day certification course provides in-depth training on using the SIVRA tool and conducting a thorough and objective violence risk assessment process. Participants in this certification course will learn how to conduct an effective interview and gather information to evaluate an individual’s risk of harm to others using the SIVRA tool. Additionally, they will practice applying the SIVRA tool to videos demonstrating violence risk assessment interviews. NABITA’s expert faculty members will also discuss strategies for assessing credibility, how to phrase questions to probe for specific risk and protective factors, and how to gather information from collateral sources.
