Behavioural Health Threat Assessment (BHTA) Basics 40 CEUs | Fully Online | Self-Paced Launch pricing available until August 15, 2026 Addiction Rarely Exists in Isolation. Are You Prepared to Recognize the Risks? Addiction rarely exists in isolation. Today's addiction counsellors are increasingly working with clients who present with escalating anger, threats, fixation, paranoia, intimate partner violence concerns, workplace conflicts, concerning communications, or other behaviours that leave clinicians asking, "How serious is this?" The role of the addiction counsellor is evolving. Clients seeking support for substance use concerns are often experiencing complex challenges that extend beyond addiction alone, including trauma, mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, significant life stressors, and behaviours that may create uncertainty around risk and safety. Addiction professionals are often among the first people clients trust with disclosures involving threats, escalating anger, intimate partner violence concerns, workplace conflicts, fixation, concerning communications, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and other behaviours that may require additional assessment and support. Yet, many addiction counsellors have received limited or no formal training in behavioural threat assessment. While addiction education provides essential skills in assessment, counselling, recovery planning, and clinical intervention, professionals may not have the tools needed to recognize behavioural warning signs, understand risk factors, or determine appropriate next steps when situations become more complex. Behavioural Health Threat Assessment (BHTA) Basics was developed to help address this important gap. This foundational course provides addiction counsellors with practical knowledge and structured approaches to better understand concerning behaviours, recognize warning signs, improve clinical decision making, and respond appropriately when client presentations extend beyond traditional addiction treatment.
