This live workshop on Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START): An introduction to using structured professional judgement to assess for interconnected risks and case planning for diverse populations is presented by Drs. Sarah Desmarais and Tonia Nicholls.

This 2-day workshop provides foundational training on the use of the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START), a 20-item structured professional judgement guide developed to support decisions and case planning for persons with mental health and/or criminal justice needs and who may pose a risk of violence to self or others. The START provides for the differential coding of clinically relevant strengths and vulnerabilities to inform the assessment and management of violence and related risks (suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, victimization, etc.). This approach has been implemented and evaluated in more than 70 studies and translated into eight languages. It is recognized as a best practice for the assessment and management of violence and related risks.

Over the course of two days, this workshop will describe the development, design, and format of START as well as the results of existing and ongoing research. A case-based approach will be used to focus this training on the process of using the START to guide assessment and the use of START assessments to improve outcomes. This workshop will be interactive and use breakout rooms for case discussion and ratings.
