UMA Behavioral Intervention Team

Mission

The mission of the UMA Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is to coordinate and implement policy development, education, and timely intervention in regard to students exhibiting signs of serious distress, or engaging in harmful or disruptive behavior.  BIT is not a crisis or emergency response team, but provides a system for proactive intervention to student behaviors of concern in order to reduce disruption and facilitate a safe, respectful and productive learning and working environment.  BIT has provided a webform here for submitting concerns.
