Behavorial Intervention Team

Purpose of the Behavioral Intervention Team

Flagler College is concerned about the safety, health, and/or well being of all of its students, faculty, and staff, and has policies regarding the well-being for all members of the college community. Specifically, the policies address student behaviors that are disruptive to the mission of the college, as well as any suicidal or self injurious threats or behaviors.

As a result of growing national trends on college campuses of mental health issues and the increase in hospitalizations and deaths due to alcohol consumption, the College instituted a Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT). The BIT has been charged with upholding these policies and maintaining a healthy environment for the entire college.

• Involuntary transportation to the hospital for alcohol and drug use/abuse.
