To help you take advantage of this fact-filled seminar and get answers to your most pressing questions about behavioral intervention teams, we're offering it with expanded connection options. You can log on to the seminar anytime, all day long, on Tuesday, August 18 whenever it's most convenient for you!
BITsbetter know as Behavioral Intervention Teamsare currently being implemented at numerous colleges and universities to help maintain a healthy and safe environment for all students, faculty and staff.
BITs are specifically being used to help institutions identify early warning signs for incidents that include campus shootings, suicide attempts, and alcohol and drug abuse.
However, while the rationale for a BIT is clear enough, establishing and operating a BIT effectively is dependent on understanding and properly managing a wide range of factors. For many administrators, faculty and staff members who are new to the concept of a BIT, this opportunity can create as many questions as it provides answers.
Whatever stage your institution is at in implementing a BIT, you wont want to miss the rebroadcast of this popular seminar on August 18. Led by Brett Sokolow, J.D., and W. Scott Lewis, J.D., nationally recognized experts on campus safety, security and high-risk student health and safety issues, Behavioral Intervention Teams: 20 Frequently Asked Questions will provide you with valuable information on emerging trends and best practices in the formation and operation of successful BITs.
During this insightful, content-rich seminar, the following key questions will be discussed:
1. Why do we need a BIT?
2. Who should be on our team?
3. Is there an ideal team size?
4. How often should the team meet?
5. What are BIT recordkeeping best practices?
6. What is the ideal function of a BIT?
7. Who performs actual interventions?
8. What should a BIT protocol include?
9. How formal should the BIT operations be?
10. How transparent should BIT operations be?
11. What should be reported to the BIT?
12. Who should report information to the BIT?
13. How should information be reported to the BIT?
14. What feedback should reporters receive from the BIT?
15. How should the BIT communicate with the campus, and about what?
16. What is the role of the counselor(s) on the BIT?
17. Who should chair the BIT?
18. What are post-intervention best practices?
19. How can a BIT foster a culture of reporting?
20. How does a BIT successfully address privacy/confidentiality concerns?
In addition to discussing these questions, you will also have an opportunity to apply what you have learned in three table-top exercises. The exercises will be short, hypothetical case studies that will end with the question, What should be done next? You will be given several response choices, and Sokolow will discuss the best answer for each case study.
