Order Workbook — $75The Beyond the Trigger workbook is the centerpiece of the Tier 3 gun violence intervention framework. Developed by Dr. Derek Collins, it is a plug-and-play, court-approved participant curriculum that provides facilitators with everything needed to run structured intervention sessions immediately.
The workbook integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, social-emotional learning (SEL), trauma-informed care, and behavioral threat assessment management (BTAM) into a single, cohesive intervention framework. It is designed to be delivered in group or individual settings by counselors, social workers, probation officers, and school staff.

Foundational modules that address the mechanics of gun violence, the cultural pressures that normalize it, and the practical skills to resist escalation.
Interpersonal skills training that equips participants to navigate conflict, manage anger, and build healthier relationships without resorting to violence.
Psychoeducational modules addressing the internal emotional landscape that drives violent behavior — from unresolved trauma to poor emotional regulation.
Modules that strengthen personal identity, challenge distorted thinking patterns, and build the character foundation needed for lasting behavioral change.
Critical modules addressing how social media, peer culture, and digital environments amplify the risk of gun violence among youth.
Practical life skills that create a positive future orientation — giving participants concrete reasons and tools to choose a different path.
