Working Together to Prevent Campus Violence


TAMT

Campus violence prevention depends on you, the SWCC community, to notice and refer potentially worrisome behaviors or situations before they result in harm.

A person that receives help sooner, rather than later, may be less likely to experience more severe symptoms or cause harm to self or others. Thus, threat assessment is a supportive process, not a disciplinary or punitive one.
 

It is the goal of the Threat Assessment and Management Team (TAMT) to provide a safe campus environment for students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors. The TAMT will take preventive measures to identify, assess, and intervene in situations that pose a threat to the safety of the campus community.

Learn what you can do to help.

 

Violence prevention is best accomplished by stopping the process before it gets started. Maintaining a healthy campus environment is the responsibility of everyone. Recognizing the early warning signs that could lead to violence provides opportunity for early intervention.

We would like you to share your observations.

If a situation or someone's behavior causes you to be concerned,

remember  "It may be nothing, BUT...".
