  • Advanced Threat Assessment and WAVR-21 Training

    $350.00 – $775.00

    Specialized Training Services is proud to present a three-day Advanced Threat Assessment & Management and WAVR-21 Training

    Sponsored by our good friends at 

    May 13th, 14th and 15th, 2025

    Register for 1 day, 2 days, or all three days,

    In-person in Charlotte, North Carolina or virtual, via Zoom

    The training event will begin with a two-day training: Advanced Threat Assessment & Threat Management: Front Line Defense for Evolving Threats with Dr. Reid Meloy.  This two day workshop will provide the most up to date information on threat assessment and threat management. This program will showcase the threat assessment process, look at the warning behaviors seen prior to targeted violence, summarize what we know about mass murderers, examine ideologically driven (terrorist) acts, the stalking of public figures and prior sexual intimates, examine the emerging threat posed by extreme right wing anti-government groups, discuss how to evaluate if an individual has become radicalized toward terror, look at new research on threats, discuss the WAVR-21 and its contribution to workplace and campus threat assessment, consider the “dark triad” of targeted violence, present a factual look at mental illness and violence risk, and describe contemporary risk management strategies. Additionally, Dr. Meloy will introduce the TRAP-18 (Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol) as terrorism has become an important area of concern in threat assessment. All allied professions to the threat assessment process should attend.  Click Here to learn more about the training objectives.

    The third day will consist of Assessing Threats and Violence Risk on Campus and in the Workplace & Community with the WAVR-21 with Dr. Stephen White . Determining risk of violence is paramount to anyone doing threat assessments. Dr. White will focus on the use of the WAVR-21, a structured professional guide designed for threat management team members in security, education, human resources, risk management, law enforcement and mental health. First published in 2007, recognition of the WAVR-21 continues to grow as the go-to assessment tool for threat scenarios. Now in its 3rd edition, the WAVR includes 21 empirically-based criteria for assessing different forms of workplace violence risk, including student violence in college and university settings. Incorporating years of research, the core of the WAVR-21 is the “pathway to violence” approach to cases, as developed by professionals at the US Secret Service and the US Marshals Office. Research has demonstrated good to excellent interrater reliability for summary judgments of violence risk based on the WAVR-21, and validation research continues. In this one-day format the presenter will succinctly describe the scientific and clinical basis for the WAVR risk and protective factors. From there the focus will be on practical use of the WAVR screening and assessment tools – how they are integrated into dynamic threat case management with its demands for flexibility. The workshop will include didactic segments, case vignettes, and video presentations. Common workplace threat scenarios will be addressed, including stalking, subjects driven by paranoia and mental illness, domestic violence, bullying, and chronically antisocial individuals.   Click Here to learn more about the training objectives.

    Register for in-person or virtual and for May 13th and 14th only, May 15th (WAVR) only, or for all 3 days. 

    If attending the WAVR-21 training, the authors recommend that you purchase the WAVR-21 Manual (which comes with 5 coding packets) in advance. WAVR-21 Manuals are not included in the price of the training. WAVR-21 Manuals and additional coding packets can be purchased HERE

    $29.99

    This is for the video only. For the APA Continuing Education version, with Exam, Course Evaluation and Certificate, Click Here

    Program description:

    There has been a swell of concern among the public and among professionals working in schools, juvenile justice, law enforcement and behavioral health services about violent behavior among children and adolescents. There is a need to advance the practice of assessing violence risk in juveniles to parallel the progress made in assessing adults, and to develop a systematic and thoughtful approach to assessing situations where an adolescent may come to official attention because of some threatening or otherwise inappropriate communication or behavior of concern.

    This presentation addresses precisely those issues and will review recent trends in youth violence, summarize and distill twenty years of research on violence risk factors in youth, and discuss principles for conducting an effective, developmentally-informed risk assessment for youth including the use of structured assessment instruments. Special attention will be given to distinguishing between assessments of risk for general violence and those for targeted violence. The training will also help participants to understand the current “state of the science” in providing effective interventions for youth violence .

  • Behavioral Indicators of Mental State

    $169.95

    2-hour On-Demand Webinar

    Leverage state-of-the-art behavioral science about behavioral indicators that have been validly and reliably demonstrated as indicators of critical mental states. Presented by world-renowned psychologist Dr. David Matsumoto.

    Description

    Presented by Dr. David Matsumoto, understanding body language and reading people well is a crucial skill for many professionals whose jobs require interviews, interrogations, and information collection and reaction elicitation of others.

    Topics covered include knowledge and skill development to identify various behavioral indicators of specific emotions, cognitions associated with words or verbal phrases, cognitive processes, and overall arousal. Participants learn to apply this knowledge base and skills in interviews and interrogations, and improve their abilities to gain insights about the mindsets of the interviewees by focusing on the world of nonverbal behavior evaluated in context against verbal output.

    Participants are also guided through a hypothesis-testing approach at thinking critically about how such evaluations are made, as well as learning the scientific bases of the behavioral indicators covered.

    Learning Objectives

    Participants in this course will be supported to:

    1. Identify meaningful behavioral indicators associated with specific emotions, cognitions, and cognitive processes (and distinguish them from less meaningful behavior) in order to:
    2. Gain insights about the personalities, mindsets, motivations, and intentions of interviewees
    3. Identify meaningful content areas of the interview to the interviewee
    4. Assess veracity from deception
    5. Identify suspicious behavior and hostile intent
    6. Apply practice applying their newfound knowledge and skills in a template that helps them understand what they identified
    7. Practice the newfound knowledge, skills, and template application in order to facilitate interviewing efficacy

  • Climate Informed Threat Assessment & Management

    $49.99

    By the year 2100, the term global warming will have been in use by the scientific community for more than a century.  The alarm about climate change will have been sounding for over 100 years.

    No one knows what the world will look like by then.  Not politicians. Not pundits. Not even climate scientists.

    What we do know is the effects of rising temperatures on a range of environmental changes from floods to droughts, wildfires, and sea level rise.

    And we know that rising temperatures increase risk for interpersonal aggression and violence.

    Migration and competition for scarce resources can lead to intergroup hostility, aggression, violence in the form of political conflict and war, extremism, and terrorism.

    Through this two-hour Climate-Informed Threat Assessment & Management workshop, you will be provided with actionable information that will allow you to incorporate climate change in evidence-based threat assessment and management protocols to support a more comprehensive approach to addressing contemporary risks.

    Two continuing education units are available for this course.

    Continuing Education Participants in this program will be supported to:

    1. Define climate literacy
    2. Describe the effects of climate change on the planet
    3. Identify three techniques that reduce risk of malpractice
    4. Describe the effects of climate change on human health
    5. List the effects of climate change on aggression and violence
    6. Incorporate climate change threat assessment and management in threat assessment practices

    Identifying Behavioral Signatures of Imminent Aggression (3.5 APA CEUs available)

    Original price was: $74.99.Current price is: $64.99.

    Online Training

    Identify the signs of imminent danger that may keep you out of harm’s way.

    Includes a pre-test, instruction, practice, and supplemental materials/readings. We recommend going through the course at least twice before taking the post-test.

    Developed by renowned expert, Dr. David Matsumoto

    Dr. Matsumoto is a Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and world-renowned expert in the field of emotion, culture, and nonverbal behavior. He has published over 400 books, book chapters, and journal articles on these subjects.

    Description

    Psychologists and mental health workers may sometimes be interacting with individuals with a propensity for violence, or individuals who become violent without such propensities.

    Identifying behavioral signatures of imminent aggression may be particularly important for those interacting with individuals who may become violent or have other aggressive tendencies that may be destructive to therapeutic alliance and/or therapy.

    To our knowledge, there is currently no graduate curricular content that teaches doctoral level psychologists on how to recognize immediate threats from nonverbal behavior. 

    Acquiring skills on how to spot these behaviors may allow psychologists to assess risk and prepare to take evasive action if they are in harm’s way. 

    Learning Objectives

    (1) Identify and list key characteristics of the premeditated assault face and the loss of impulse control face. 

    (2) Demonstrate the ability to differentiate between faces associated with dangerous intent and other emotions. 

    (3) Proficiently recognize behavioral signatures of imminent attack in others within seconds.

    Improving Credibility Assessment (5 APA CEUs available)

    Original price was: $124.99.Current price is: $94.99.

    Online Training

    Identify areas where there are concealed thoughts, feelings or opinions.

    Includes a 2-hour webinar recording as well as supplemental material/reading. We recommend reviewing all material at least twice before taking the post-test.

    Developed by renowned expert, Dr. David Matsumoto

    Dr. Matsumoto is a Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and world-renowned expert in the field of emotion, culture, and nonverbal behavior. He has published over 400 books, book chapters, and journal articles on these subjects.

    Description

    Doctoral level psychologists constantly assess the credibility of the statements provided to them in therapeutic sessions; and, there is a rich research literature on cues to deception, honesty, credibility and trustworthiness.

    Despite this rich literature, however, to our knowledge, there is currently no APA approved continuing education course covering knowledge or skills regarding evaluating truthfulness, detecting deception, or assessing credibility, honesty, or trustworthiness.

    Post-doctoral psychologists need to be able to assess credibility of their clients when in session and learning these practical skills will help psychologists identify areas that need to be probed more and where there are concealed thoughts, feelings, or opinions.

    This may be particularly insightful when interacting with a patient to predict where there may be more to the story than what’s being told.

    Learning Objectives

    (1) Describe what the Pinnochio effect is with regards to credibility assessment using behavioral indicators.

    (2) Recite the differences between validated, non-validated and unvalidated indicators of deception and provide examples of each.

    (3) Define what a “behavioral indicator” is with regards to deception detection.

    (4) Define the characteristics of a “microexpression” and what they may indicate with regards too deception detection.

    Improving Emotion Detection Skills in Therapeutic Settings (w 5 APA CEUs)

    Original price was: $124.99.Current price is: $94.99.

    Online Training

    Develop rapport, trust and collegiality in face-to-face interactions.

    Includes a pre-test, instruction, practice, and supplemental materials/readings. We recommend reviewing all material at least twice before taking the post-test.

    Developed by renowned expert, Dr. David Matsumoto

    Dr. Matsumoto is a Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University and world-renowned expert in the field of emotion, culture, and nonverbal behavior. He has published over 400 books, book chapters, and journal articles on these subjects.

    Description

    Emotion is a topic typically covered in graduate curricula for psychologists, but when this topic is covered, the information provides general theoretical knowledge about emotion, its nature and functions.

    However, graduate curricula generally do not provide instruction on the specific nonverbal behavior that empirical research has documented to validly and reliably express emotions beyond general descriptions of faces, nor about the effects of cultural display rules on emotional expressions or microexpressions.

    Graduate curricula also do not typically provide specific guidelines as to what to do after having read emotions in others.

    Because post-doctoral level psychologists interact with others on a face-to-face basis, acquiring the skill of how to read facial expressions of emotion and other nonverbal behavior, and then having a conceptual framework concerning what to do with that information when obtained, can be utilized by psychologists in the development of rapport, trust, and collegiality, and to gain further insights into the mindsets of their clients. 

    To our knowledge, there is currently no specific training that teaches doctoral-level psychologists on how to read facial expressions of emotion on individuals from different ethnic, racial and cultural backgrounds.

    This APA approved continuing education course addresses this important and specific need. 

    Learning Objectives

    (1) Describe and identify major differences between micro and macro facial expressions of emotion.  

    (2) Define and list major differences between referential, deliberate, and spontaneous facial expressions of emotion. 

    (3) Recite the specific anatomical characteristics of each of the seven universal facial expressions of emotion that occur on the face. 

    (4) Demonstrate the ability to recognize facial expressions of emotion that last less than half a second on the face (microexpressions) proficiently on individuals that represent a wide demographic of ages, genders and ethnicities.

    • Read microexpressions in others
    • Read basic emotions in others
    • Identify key characteristics of the 7 basic emotions

    This comprehensive online training will teach you how to recognize microexpressions – facial expressions of emotion that occur when someone tries to conceal or repress how they are feeling. Even though they last only a fraction of a second, anyone can learn to recognize them.

    MiX™ Professional consists of:

    • An Expression Basics section which features a brief overview of facial expressions such as: the functions of emotions, emotions as reactions to events, and the difference between spontaneous and deliberate emotions
    • 7 brand new instructional and review videos from the frontal view that teach you the characteristics of the basic emotions of: anger, disgust, fear, surprise, contempt, happiness and sadness
    • An additional information page for each of the seven basic emotions that features: universal triggers of the emotion, universal functions of the emotion, FACS codes and associated nonverbal behaviors.
    • A confusionsinstructional video section to help delineate between similar expressions such as fear and surprise and anger and contempt.
    • A practice section with 56 images which feature individuals from ONLY the frontal view (pictured)
    • A post test to see how far you’ve come. Receive over 80% with the images flashing at you at a speed of 1/5 of a second or less and receive a certificate of completion. You can take the post test as many times as you’d like.

    In addition, MiX™ Professional is set at a  speed of 100 milli seconds, or 1/10th of a second. MiX™ training features over 65 images from six ethnic groups equally representing males and females.

    MiX™ Professional offers users a comprehensive learning tool to detect microexpressions. Complete with expressions of males and females from various ethnic groups, MiX™ Professional can improve your ability to recognize hidden signs of emotions in less than one hour of training.
