Subcommittee hears plans for TAM threat-assessment teams and clinician trainings
Summary
Staff described Threat Assessment Management (TAM) teams as multi-disciplinary and announced two clinician trainings: Targeted Violence 101 on April 1 (open) and a closed training on April 27; BHSN clinicians and Conifer Park staff are beginning training.
At the March 27 meeting, staff outlined the role of Threat Assessment Management (TAM) teams and scheduled clinician trainings aimed at identifying and managing threats of targeted violence. Robert York described TAM teams as multi-disciplinary groups that bring together law enforcement, mental-health clinicians, school officials and other stakeholders to identify, assess and manage threats.
York said clinicians from BHSN are currently being trained and that Conifer Park is starting training. Two trainings were listed in the packet: an open "Targeted Violence 101" session for clinicians on April 1 and a closed threat-assessment training on April 27. The meeting record did not provide detailed curricula or attendee lists for the sessions.
Why it matters: TAM teams and clinician training are designed to improve cross-agency coordination around targeted-violence risk. The subcommittee noted the trainings are part of a broader effort to tighten hospital-to-community transitions and to support first responders and clinicians working with high-needs individuals.
The meeting packet referenced external resources and a Healthcare Coalition website (northcountrymedicaid.org) for additional information. Staff asked agencies to report funding impacts that could affect training participation or ongoing threat-assessment work.
