Tabletop Exercises for Threat Assessment Teams

One of the best tools in crisis-response planning is scenario-based training – using hypothetical situations to inform real-world responses.

A leading authority on student behavioral health helps you create a new situation-based training program … one that includes insight and commentary from 20 industry experts.

The result is an exceptionally rich training experience we hope you’ll want to share with your campus crisis team.

Tabletop Exercises for Threat Assessment Teams was developed by Brian Van Brunt, Ed.D., director of the Counseling and Testing Center at Western Kentucky University and past president of the American College Counseling Association. Brian is also a member of his campus’s behavioral intervention team, an EMT, and a crisis counselor.

Scenarios addressing eight distinct crises you may encounter :

• Drug and gun violence threats
• Bi-polar assault
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Suicidal students
• Eating disorders
• Domestic violence
• Odd social behavior
• Violent video game talk

In each scenario, you and your team will encounter legal, ethical, and other issues that complicate the urgent need to respond.

Discussion questions are included, at three levels: basic, moderate, and advanced.

Pre- and post-tests assess your team’s initial knowledge and what they’ve learned through the program.

A “Lessons Learned” section recaps the scenario’s critical issues, and provides guidance on current practice standards. And finally, commentary from several of our 20 experts is included for each scenario. Experts Include: Saundra K. “Saunie” Schuster, Gregory Eells, Ph.D., Gary Pavella, Perry Francis, Ed.D., and Michael C. Sachs, MA, J.D..

The program also includes a CD for facilitators/directors, in which Van Brunt explains how to use the program to its greatest effect. You’ll also receive brief profiles and contact information for all the experts who contributed to the manual.
