Behavioral intervention teams (BIT) are a research-based, best practice for campus safety and student wellness. Student affairs practitioners are central to successful BIT leadership and operations. The presenters address common challenges facing BITs such as how to help reporting parties distinguish between feeling threatened and being threatened, documenting patterns of concerns without profiling or discriminating against those involved, and navigating BIT activities alongside other student affairs functional units such as counseling and conduct. The presenters also share research-based standards of practice for these and other issues and present the best practices in behavioral intervention.
