School Violence Prevention
Baron Center, Inc. has assisted learning institutions nationwide in establishing quality Safe School programs. Our staff has provided training and/or counseling services to victims, students, faculty and/or staff of Columbine High School, Santana High School, Granite Hills High School, City Universities of New York, University of Southern California, the California State University system, and the University of California system.

The key to reducing school violence is breaking the code of silence among the students, faculty and staff.

Avoiding the "profiling" approach to school violence prevention, we believe that the only reliable "predictive" factor is threats made to others concerning their chosen targets.

Dealing with a threat of school violence demands a multi-disciplinary approach. There are no easy or fast solutions when faced with an on-campus threat involving students, parents, staff, faculty, or outsiders. We're here to help school districts and academic institutions with the following state-of-the-art services:

Consultation and Threat Assessment
Our expert staff can assist you in assessing threats, providing forensic statement analysis of student writings, targeted graffiti, drawings, and other inappropriate correspondence and behaviors and in preparing a comprehensive school-wide program for your institution. In the event of a post-trauma crisis, we provide consultation and counseling to the school by experienced licensed psychologists. We can also survey your campus and provide practical ideas for improved security.
