Behavioral Intervention Team

SUNY Adirondack's Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) aims to identify students whose behavioral patterns have raised concern about their well-being; centralize communication to gain a more complete understanding of the whole individual student; and develop a proactive and collaborative outreach plan to address identified risks. The BIT team's followup plan includes reviewing cases until the person referred is assessed at a mild level of risk. The BIT team is composed of a multidisciplinary group including the dean for Student Affairs, the associate vice president for Academic Affairs, two Counseling faculty, assistant director of Public Safety, director of Residence Life and director of Accessibility Services.
