Behavioral Intervention Team
There are 10 Core Functions of a Behavioral Intervention Team:
- Educate the campus community about behaviors of concern and reporting procedures
- Provide consultation and support to faculty, staff administration, and students in
assisting individuals who display concerning or disruptive behaviors
- Serve as the central point of contact for individuals reporting aberrant student behavior
or behavior that deviates from an established baseline
- Triage reports – identifying patterns of aberrant behaviors which might suggest the
need for an intervention
- Assess threat/risk
- Assess available resources
- Follow a formalized protocol of instructions for communication, coordination, and
intervention
- Coordinate follow-up – Connect individuals with needed campus and community resources
- Observe ongoing behavior of individuals who have displayed disruptive or concerning
behavior
- Assess long-term success
