Warning Signs of Violent Behavior

At-risk signs can be taught to teachers, staff members, parents, and school student bodies. Everyone, including students should be encouraged to watch for students exhibiting those signs and report to adults. When these signs are reported, a counselor, psychologist, or social worker should investigate the child to determine if there are serious problems lurking that need attention. This document came with a strong warning that warning signs should not be used to label students, but the warning signs can be a talking point to help students realize when one of their classmates may need adult assistance. This is not intended to be a PROFILE for violent students. Rather it is an at-risk list that should prompt officials to provide counseling and other services to students who may be having problems.
