Dr. Mikulan Participates in U.S. Secret Service Expert Webinar

August 2025

​

On August 13, 2025, Dr. Janja Mikulan, leader of the Jean Monnet Module EU-GlobalAct, took part in a professional online event organized by the U.S. Secret Service, focused on the report “Aligning Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management with a Multi-Tiered System of Support.” 💻📘

 

The event addressed the pressing issues of school violence, self-harm, and firearm-related threats 🏫⚠️🔫 — phenomena that are increasingly being glorified on radical online platforms. The report emphasizes that violence almost never occurs without warning signs 🚨 — timely recognition of behavioral risks and inclusion in a multi-tiered system of support can help students, reduce risks, and prevent tragedies. 💬🧠💞

​

As Dr. Mikulan highlighted, it is essential to respond to these worrying trends within the educational environment. 🎓✨ She will therefore integrate key insights from the event into her courses Global Security and Help and Participation in Community, encouraging students to reflect on these challenges and explore possible solutions. 🌍🤝💡
