Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)

The mission of Southeastern Technical College’s Behavioral Intervention Team is to provide a proactive and supportive multi-disciplinary team approach to prevention, assessment, intervention, and management of situations that may impact the safety and well-being of individuals or the College community.

Understanding the Difference between Disruptive and Dangerous Behaviors – NaBITA

Campus Members Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students to immediately report any situation that could possibly result in harm to anyone at the College. These reports may be directed to BIT or the Director of Safety and Security, depending on the nature of the concern.

When there is an active or immediate risk of violence or harm to others you should call 911.

How Do I Submit a Referral on a Person of Concern?

In non-emergency situations, you may fill out an online concern report, call, or email a member of the Behavioral Intervention Team, or submit an anonymous report.

Behaviors of concern might be observed in a number of settings: in the classroom, at a service location or office, at an on-campus job, or during participation at an extracurricular activity. By reporting behaviors that are concerning, the Behavioral Intervention Team will be able to reach out to students to intervene, provide support, and connect them with resources that can assist them.

The BIT process does not replace faculty classroom management, disciplinary processes, and/or public safety responses to incidents.

The Behavioral Intervention Team Model works within all current college policies and serves as a model to formalize current informal processes at the College.
