A Global Community Focused on Prevention
The International Threat Management Association brings together professionals across disciplines, sectors, and borders who share a common goal: improving the prevention and management of targeted violence.
Threat management is multidisciplinary by nature.
Effective prevention depends on people who can recognize concerning behavior, share information, assess risk, manage cases, and collaborate across professional boundaries. ITMA exists to strengthen that community through connection, education, research, and professional practice.
Our mission is to advance the field of threat management by connecting practitioners, strengthening professional knowledge, and promoting evidence-informed approaches to preventing targeted violence.
Building capability across the threat management community.

One field. Many perspectives.
ITMA welcomes professionals whose work contributes to the recognition, assessment, management, investigation, research, and prevention of targeted violence. The strength of the association comes from bringing those perspectives together rather than treating threat management as the responsibility of any single profession.
