The Behavioral Intervention Team: Red Flag Initiative
The Behavioral Intervention Team monitors unusual student interactions or behaviors that occur at Davidson-Davie Community College. Based upon referrals and reports, the Behavioral Intervention Team plans and implements intervention strategies to assist students before a crisis or disciplinary issue arises. If a student is in significant distress or if a crisis situation arises, it is likely the Behavioral Intervention Team may also get involved and develop a plan of action to ensure all campus community members’ safety.
The Behavioral Intervention Team is a multidisciplinary team that meets at least once monthly for the following purposes:
- detect patterns, trends and disturbances in individual or group behavior
- gather information to assess situations involving students who display concerning or disruptive behaviors or potentially concerning or disruptive behaviors;
- provide consultation and support to faculty and staff in assisting students who display concerning or disruptive behaviors or potentially concerning or disruptive behaviors;
- assess the source, nature, imminence and severity of the student’s threat or perceived threat to themselves and/or the campus community and to classify the risk;
- plan and implement intervention strategies or referrals;
- connect students with appropriate campus and/or community resources; and
- monitor ongoing behavior of students who have displayed disruptive or concerning behavior
