On Demand | Self-Paced Professional Training
This on-demand professional training program on the Evaluation of Risk for Violence using the HCR-20 Version 3 is presented by Stephen D. Hart, PhD, Kevin S. Douglas, PhD, LLB, and Laura Guy, PhD, in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
Version 3 maintains the basic features of Version 2 but has additional features that will help decision-makers to determine which risk factors are most relevant at the individual level, how to produce a meaningful case formulation, how to develop helpful risk management plans, and how to make decisions about the level of violence risk. Some items have been changed as well.
The participant is taken through the foundation for structured professional judgment, how to rate the presence and relevance of each of the HCR-20 Version 3 items, how to formulate risk scenarios, how to consider case management issues for the evaluee, and how to conceptualize and provide summary judgments regarding the evaluee’s overall risk.
This program typically takes about 20 hours to complete and includes a review of the training videos, reading the HCR-20 Version 3 Manual, working through the case illustration, and scoring a clinical case using the HCR-20 Version 3.
This program focuses on the revised HCR-20 (now called HCR: V3) and describes why and how the HCR-20 was revised; how Version 3 differs from its predecessors; initial research validation of Version 3; what its risk factors are and how to rate them; and how to complete case formulation and risk management planning using Version 3.
Participants also have the opportunity to complete the HCR: V3 on a practice case. Professionals who do not have a solid foundation in threat assessment and risk management may wish to register for the Foundations of Violence Risk Assessment and Management training program before registering for this program, but this is not a requirement. Registered participants will receive an e-copy of the manual for viewing during the training. It will not be available to download or print.
