Violence Goes to College: Detecting and Preventing Avenger Violence

Overview

This seminar is designed to assist faculty and staff to better understand how to identify and manage aggressive behavior in those around them. The training is centered on the research of John Byrnes, a nationally recognized leader in Aggression Management who has taught his program to the US Army, NASA, US Postal Office, Citibank, Walt Disney World and educational settings.

This seminar will offer training in the areas of identifying and managing potentially aggressive student behaviors, attitudes and emotions. The training will include a discussion of the signs and symptoms of the trigger, crisis and escalation phases of aggression, the difference between primal and cognitive aggression and the art of “safe escape” from aggressive individuals and dangerous situations.

The material will include an overview of how to work with those students engaged in indirect aggressive behaviors and personality traits in community living situations. These will include a description and management techniques for the seven most common passive aggressive personality types which occur in college students.
