START Assessment Training
Foundational training in the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START)
The Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START) is a 20-item clinical guide for the dynamic assessment of seven risk domains. START represents a refinement in the assessment of risk in that it provides for the differential coding of both client strengths and vulnerabilities while allowing for the recording of case-specific factors. START guides clinicians toward an integrated, balanced opinion to evaluate the client’s risk across multiple domains and to guide treatment and management decisions.
This training will review the literature that bears on the development of START and supports its utility as a clinical evaluation and planning guide and as a research tool. The development, design, format, and implementation of START will be described and results from existing and ongoing research presented. This training focuses on how START can inform decision-making regarding internalized and externalized aggression, as well as other risks relevant to maintaining staff and client safety.
At the conclusion of the training, attendees will receive a certificate of attendance and can submit that certificate to their respective licensing boards for CE hours/units consideration.
