Instruction is based on Safety Assessment and Intervention, part of the Know the Signs program promoted by Sandy Hook Promise.
The sessions teach multi-disciplinary, school-based teams how to identify and respond to threats of violence or at-risk behavior before a tragedy strikes.
Future sessions will take place Tuesday, Dec. 3, Wednesday, Dec. 4 and Thursday, Dec. 5 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Sinclair Conference Center in Dayton.
