The Michigan State Police Office of School Safety hosted 31 basic, advanced and train the trainer Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management workshops during the 2022-23 school year. The goal of Mi-BTAM training is to identify, engage, and work collaboratively with families and students to mitigate life situational factors contributing to thoughts of violence and aggression. As an outcome of the project, a cadre of qualified trainers is now available to deliver the basic Mi-BTAM workshop to schools throughout the state.  Schools, school districts and intermediate school districts are responsible for contacting and scheduling the trainer.  If you need more information or have questions about the Mi-BTAM program, please email the Office of School Safety MSP-SchoolSafety@michigan.gov.
