California’s Threat Response, Assessment and Intervention Team (T.R.A.I.T.) has evolved into the Behavioral Intervention Team (B.I.T.). 

The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) provides assessment and early intervention to students exhibiting concerning behaviors, supports students with concerns and assists faculty/staff. The team is dedicated to the campus community’s wellness and safety by providing an atmosphere where individuals are free to work and learn in a secure and supportive environment. B.I.T. will continue the legacy of having a right to safety and security and the responsibility of ensuring the safety and security of others by reviewing a broader range of behaviors than T.R.A.I.T had.

Referrals can be submitted by anyone concerned for a student at - https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?PennWestUniv&layout_id=60

T.R.A.I.T. bookmarks or searches will be redirected to the B.I.T. webpages where the referral form is also available.
