DEI & BIT/BAIT Teams – On-Demand Training

Train Team Members on Bias, Racial Trauma, & Microaggressions

Train Your Team to Effectively Intervene in Difficult Situations Proactively, Compassionately, and With Confidence.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion should be at the center of all practices, and your Campus Care Management and Behavioral Intervention and Assessment Teams are no exception. Those who lead and serve on these teams must approach their review and decisions with a EDI lens, so training on key concepts such as bias, racial trauma and microaggressions must be included for these individuals. Additionally, representation on these teams is essential in meeting the needs of your diverse and evolving student community.

Join our campus experts as they share strategies and improvements to Campus Care Management and BIT/BAIT development to ensure a more equitable and inclusive process. You’ll come away with proven tools and strategies you can implement on your campus immediately in preparation for the increased challenges surrounding student mental health and wellness needs.
