"Highly recommended"

As a psychologist and board-certified forensic mental health evaluator who specializes in threat/risk assessments for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, I found Dr. Greg Vecchi's VGI/Behavioral Threat Assessment System Training to be exceptionally valuable.

Dr. Vecchi tailored the training to address the specific needs of his audience, such as those of various age ranges and with multiple
disabilities. His engaging and responsive teaching style made complex information accessible. He clearly understood his professional limits, often recommending external resources when necessary.

Key aspects of the training included risk versus threat assessment, the importance of sufficient data, and the impact of factors like mental illness on threat assessments. Dr. Vecchi's focus on process, structure, and intuition provided a comprehensive approach supported by his extensive experience and knowledge combined with research. Highly recommended!

I had the honor of being trained by Dr. Vecchi in psychopathology, active shooters, conflict and crisis management, work and school threat assessment, and forensic behavioral analysis. The intensive three-day training made me one of the nation's first Certified Forensic Behavioral Analysts.

Dr. Vecchi was filled with a plethora of knowledge, first-hand experience, information, and applicable examples. This knowledge and skillset have only helped me in my already established work as a national gang expert. I am proud to have him as a colleague; he has my highest recommendation.
