Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)

The BIT is dedicated to the prevention, identification, assessment, and intervention of student behaviors and situations that pose a significant risk to the living/learning environment, and the health, safety, and well-being of the campus community.

Mission

The Colorado School of Mines’ Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for the members of the campus community. Distressed and disruptive behavior usually includes a change in a person’s performance, appearance, or emotional state and may be symptomatic of a person’s ability to manage personal or emotional difficulties. The BIT will intervene to address and manage increasingly concerning patterns of behavior(s) to support the student while balancing the safety and well-being of the campus community.

Members of the University community should inform the BIT of any student exhibiting behavior(s) that are concerning, causing significant disruption, and/or pose a significant risk of harm by submitting a Student Outreach & Support (SOS) referral.

You can help us in these efforts by keeping a watchful eye out for things happening in our campus community. Information on tools and techniques for helping, identifying concerning behaviors, and ways to report incidents can be found on the SOS website.  Each member of the Mines community is encouraged to review the resources and make the choice to provide assistance to those in need or contact those at Mines who are trained to help whenever a situation arises.
