B-Safer: Threat Assessment and Management Training with Tracey Marshall

Event time: 8:30am-4:30pm

In this workshop, attendees will be introduced to the principles of violence threat assessment and management, specifically in relation to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).

The B-SAFER (Brief Spousal Assault Form for the Evaluation of Risk) is a structured professional judgment tool to assess and manage risk for intimate partner violence (up to and including lethality). A case study will be included in the training to enhance the learning experience. 

Discussion of the threat assessment process will highlight the need for:

·         Detailed information-gathering from multiple sources

·         Multidisciplinary case management teams

·         Information sharing

·         Transparency in articulation of risk and management strategies
