Targeted Violence: Community Awareness, Behavioral Indicators and Prevention Strategies – Pilot Program
This program was developed for schools and faith-based organizations but is applicable to all organizations.
Preventing violence in our communities starts with empowering communities with training on how we can help those in need before there is a problem. This training will cover the threats we face, the process to radicalization and violence, and how to identify and prevent problems before they happen. This training is based on a public health strategic prevention framework.
This training contains three distinct sections: Threat Awareness, Behavioral Indicators and Analysis, and Prevention Strategies.
The course will define the current threat of extremism in the Bay Area, enhance each attendee’s knowledge and understanding of the behaviors and actions that represent pre-incident indicators, and the process to radicalization. We will also cover when and how to report behaviors, and present examples of community based, local, state and federal strategies and programs that can help prevent targeted violence.
