OUR SERVICES
I Offer a Range of Services to Meet All Types of Needs
Third-Party Threat Evaluation
For schools navigating a specific concern or reported threat, I provide short-term, third-party advisory consultation to support leadership decision-making.
This includes:
-
Review of available information provided by the school
-
Consultation with school leadership or designated team members
-
Risk considerations and protective factor analysis
-
Clear, written advisory recommendations
This service is consultative only and does not include investigations, interviews, or disciplinary determinations.
Threat Management Framework & Procedures
I help schools establish a structured Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management framework tailored to private-school governance and culture.
Deliverables may include:
-
A comprehensive BTAM Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
-
Defined Threat Management Team roles and responsibilities
-
Reporting, intake, assessment, and management processes
-
Documentation and case closure guidance
-
Practical tools and templates to support implementation
Frameworks are designed to be usable, sustainable, and aligned with Florida-informed best practices without imposing public-school mandates.

Topics may include:
-
Overview of the BTAM process
-
Roles and responsibilities

Workplace Threat Assessment & Prevention
For organizations seeking to proactively address concerning behavior and reduce risk, I provide advisory support to develop structured, prevention-focused workplace threat assessment processes.
This may include:
-
Development of internal reporting and response protocols
-
Guidance for leadership and HR on managing concerning behavior
-
Risk-based decision-making support
-
Alignment with workplace safety and liability considerations
This service is consultative and designed to strengthen internal processes — not replace them.
Expanding Beyond Schools
While my work is rooted in supporting private and independent schools, the principles of Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management apply across all environments where people interact, including corporations, small businesses, and organizations.
I partner with organizations to build structured, prevention-focused approaches to identifying, assessing, and managing concerning behavior before it escalates.
This includes:
-
Workplace violence prevention frameworks
-
Concerning behavior reporting and response processes
-
Leadership guidance on risk-based decision making
-
Integration of safety, HR, and operational considerations
My approach remains advisory, structured, and tailored to the culture and needs of each organization.

Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management (BTAM) Fundamentals Training
Building Internal Capacity Through Practical
Education. Effective threat management depends on people and people need training. This service equips administrators, staff, counselors, HR professionals, and threat management team members with the foundational knowledge to recognize, report, and respond to concerning behavior with confidence.
What Behavioral Threat Assessment & Management is — and what it isn’t:
-
The difference between threats and threatening behavior
-
Understanding the pathway to violence and warning signs
-
How to receive and document reports of concern
-
The role of each team member in the BTAM process
-
De-escalation awareness and protective factors
Training is delivered in a format tailored to your organization’s schedule and team including half-day workshops, full-day intensives, or phased staff briefings. Content is grounded in evidence-based BTAM practices and adapted to fit the culture and operational needs of your environment, whether a school, corporation, or community organization.
How My Approach Is Different
-
Prevention-focused, not punitive
-
Advisory, not investigative
-
Aligned with Florida best practices, adapted for private schools
-
Clear boundaries that protect school authority and consultant role
I work collaboratively with school leadership to strengthen internal capacity rather than replace existing decision-making structures.

Important Scope Note

All final decisions and implementation of recommendations remain the responsibility of the client.
