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.

BART Referral Protocols

  • For Faculty concerns that appear to be concerning, disruptive, distressed, and made you feel nervous or worried about the faculty, refer them to the Faculty Affairs office at 661-654-2155 or to Dr. Debbie Boschini, dboschini@csub.edu
  • For Staff concerns that appear to be concerning, disruptive, distressed, and made you feel nervous or worried about the staff or others, refer them to Human Resources at 661-654-2266 or Lori Blodorn, lblodorn@csub.edu
  • For Student concerns that appear to be concerning, disruptive, distressed, and made you feel nervous or worried about the student, refer them to the Dean of Students Office at 661-654-2680 or Emily Poole Callahan, epoole1@csub.edu
