University Behavior Intervention Team (U.B.I.T.)

Purpose

The University of Arkansas at Monticello cares about the needs of our university family, not only academic needs, but also emotional and physical. In an effort to identify those needing help, UAM has created a network of campus professionals that are committed to a caring, confidential program of identification, intervention and response in order to provide our campus with the greatest chance of success with the greatest level of protection.

We created this website to accomplish the following:

• Educate you about the UBIT and how it works;
• Provide you with information and tips about how to deal with incidents you may encounter;
• Provide additional resources on our campus and in our community;
• Provide a link for the confidential reporting of concerns.
