When a youth has high-risk behaviors, teams need a consistent way to document risk, identify triggers, and make clear supervision/support decisions. This Behavior Risk Assessment is a staff-friendly template designed to help programs quickly organize the most important safety information in one place — so everyone is responding the same way across shifts.
