Training for BIT/CARE/TAT Professionals
Behavior Intervention, Campus Assessment Response & Education, and/or Threat Assessment Teams (BIT/CARE/TAT teams) exist at every UW university and serve a critical role in early identification, support, and deterrence of escalation for students exhibiting behavioral signs of distress, disruption, or potential danger to self or others.
In 2020, Universities of Wisconsin President Ray Cross approved a behavioral health workgroup recommendation to sponsor bi-annual training opportunities to help these multidisciplinary teams stay current on best practices. The goal is to provide opportunities for campus professionals across the UW System to hone their skills in detecting and responding to potentially high-risk situations, leading to the prevention of individual and campus tragedies and contributing to student well-being and success.
