3. Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA) Programs:
   GAT Force’s BTA programs use AI to analyze patterns in student behavior, such as absenteeism, sudden changes in mood, or concerning interactions, to detect early signs of potential crises. These insights are shared with school counselors and administrators, supporting timely interventions that prioritize student well-being and de-escalate situations before they become critical.
