BART

BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT INTERVENTION and RESPONSE TEAM

The Behavioral Assessment Intervention and Response Team (BART) supports the health and safety of the campus by providing a central agency where campus members can report behaviors that are disruptive, concerning, or pose a threat to self or others. The goal of BART is early detection and intervention of at-risk behaviors by coordinating a collaborative response to address concerning situations before they escalate to more serious issues.
