The overall goal of the Behavioral Intervention/Violence Prevention Team is to promote a safe college environment for all students, faculty, and staff focused on student learning and development. By encouraging all members of the campus community to report behaviors that are concerning, the BIT will be able to reach out to students to intervene, provide support, and connect them with resources that can assist them. As such, the BIT asks that the campus community report concerning, 鈥渞ed flag鈥� behaviors.

It is likely that most 麻豆直播 staff will, at some point, come into contact with a student in distress. It is important to understand the difference between a student having a bad day and a student who may be experiencing a crisis requiring some form of intervention. All students go through times of stress and/or anxiety. It is normal for an individual to feel anxious or sad at times, especially during high-stress periods at the beginning, middle, and end of semesters. Concern should come when a student acts in excess of what would be expected or if there is significant impairment in social, educational or occupational functioning. Regardless of the issues facing a student, help is available. Staff is not expected to diagnose a student鈥檚 issue, but are asked to recognize when a student is in trouble and to connect them to the appropriate College resources.
