Breaking the Silo to Assess Risk Presenter: Ashley H. VanDercar, MD, JD Description: This webinar shows why multidisciplinary information sharing is crucial to averting school shootings. Although there is no profile of who will become a school shooter, there are relevant risk factors and behaviors that should prompt evaluation or intervention. Recognizing these patterns requires comprehensive data. Yet disciplines often silo information, making it challenging for any one professional to spot a developing threat. Through a forensic psychiatry lens, this webinar challenges participants to reconsider which information truly matters when assessing a student’s threat potential. Drawing on two decades of National Threat Assessment Center data, the session explains how seemingly minor details can shift risk. It also examines legal and practical reasons that keep stakeholders from sharing potentially critical information. Bio:Ashley H. VanDercar, MD, JD, is a board-certified forensic psychiatrist and licensed attorney. Dr. VanDercar has specialized expertise in violence risk assessments and post-arrest evaluations of criminal defendants. She has published and presented nationally on the intersection of mental health and violence, including psychiatric factors in lone actor terrorism, cult leaders, and school shooters. Her work emphasizes the value of behavioral observations and collateral data – both when making a psychiatric diagnosis and assessing violence risk. Learning Objectives:
