Safer Schools Together (SST) and the International Center for Digital Threat Assessment® (ICDTA), leading organizations specializing in school and community safety strategies are pleased to announce a collaboration with Dr. Dewey Cornell, international threat assessment expert, as well as author of the Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines (CSTAG) manual.
SST and Dr. Dewey Cornell have developed a new learning module outlining best practice for integrating Digital Threat Assessment® (DTA) into the CSTAG Behavioral Threat Assessment Model. The module reviews CSTAG’s 5-step process and demonstrates how DTA® provides critical insight into a student’s thoughts, feelings, and plans to potentially commit acts of violence to themselves or others. This collaboration aims to ensure students, staff, schools, as well as surrounding communities are provided with safe, caring, and inclusive environments.
Modules provide the most comprehensive online learning for Safety and Threat Assessment teams. Our on-demand, video based modules are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and include a comprehensive interactive resource guide.
ICDTA® PLANS
Digital Threat Assessment® (DTA) is a vital tool for Safety and Threat Assessment teams
in the early identification of worrisome online behavior™.
When initiating and engaging in a Threat Assessment, the analysis of an individual’s digital footprint is often overlooked. Knowing how and where to look for concerning behavior online is the missing link in a complete threat assessment. By understanding how to identify worrisome content on popular social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Discord, Instagram or Snapchat, your Safety and Threat Assessment teams can make inform decisions and determine whether immediate action needs to be taken following a threat or incident of concern.
Our annual subscription plans give you access to on-demand, video based courses that will assist your teams in building capacity and sustainability in your community.
Select the plan below that suits your teams needs to get started today.

"I appreciated hearing this information from someone with lived online experience, as it made it more relatable to me as someone who is involved in online circles and is often the only source of this information for a majority of my colleagues. I felt that the training was well delivered by a knowledgeable instructor who managed to share critical information about this subject in only an hour and a half. There are so many facets to this topic that I worried we would not be able to get through all of the important parts, especially with the audience's active participation throughout, but the training delivered fantastically".
