Chattahoochee Tech seeks to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for our students, faculty, and staff. To ensure the ongoing safety of our campuses, Chatt Tech has designated a team of specially trained staff to respond to concerns about mental health or behavioral problems. This team, called Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT), coordinates a variety of resources for students, faculty, and staff in need of assistance, including those with mental health issues, behavioral concerns, personal hardships, substance use and addiction, and other concerns.

Faculty, staff, and students concerned about disruptive or distressed behavior that does not pose an imminent danger should complete a Submit a Concern Form. Once the concern has been received, the BIT team will develop an appropriate response plan based on the nature of the concern and the individual’s needs.

Behavioral Intervention Team

Colleges and universities around the country have become more diligent and proactive in providing a safe environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to their campuses. More recently, the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) has required all technical colleges to have a Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT). The Behavioral Intervention Team is dedicated to a proactive, coordinated, and planned approach to the identification, prevention, assessment, management, and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral concerns to the safety and well-being of all Chattahoochee Technical College students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

Campus Members’ Responsibilities

The mission of the College’s Behavioral Intervention Team is to provide a proactive and supportive multi-disciplinary team approach to prevention, assessment, intervention, and management of situations that may impact the safety and well-being of individuals or the college community. It is the responsibility of faculty, staff, and students to immediately report any situation that could possibly result in harm to anyone at the College.
