This risk management infrastructure promotes student, faculty, and staff success and campus safety by facilitating the identification and support of individuals who demonstrate behaviors that may be early warning signs of students that may be struggling with mental health issues.
This team meets weekly to facilitate communication of information regarding students of concern and address instances of student behavior that have faculty, staff, and/or students concerned. Acting as consultants, SBCT facilitates the coordination of efforts to respond to students’ needs, based on the information gathered about the situation. SBCT is actively engaged in the early assessment and intervention process and provides options for responding to the situation and/or the students’ behavior.
