Dr. Holifield's Threat Assessment Projects

This government report funded by California Mental Health Services Act (MHSA grant describes the B-HARP project outcomes. This community threat assessment project spanned the course of 4-years with multiple positive results.

This White Paper co-authored by Dr. Holifield and supported by the California Association of School Psychologists (CASP) provides guidance for threat assessment and management in response to the passage of California SB 906: School Safety: Homicidal Threats that was signed by Governor Newsom on July 21,2022. The second requirement of the bill, which is the primary reason for this document, directs all public-school employees to immediately report threats or perceived threats of a homicidal act to law enforcement.
