20 Minutes to Trained: After a Student Death

Join Daniel Swinton, J.D., Ed.D. and David Denino, LPC, NCC, in this 20 Minutes to…Trained video as they discuss the complexity of responding to a student death. In this video, they address both the way these losses impact the campus community as well as good practices for navigating such situations. Additionally, Daniel and David share resources and guidance for developing official protocols at your institution.

20 Minutes to Trained: Behavioral Contracts and Mandating Counseling

This 20-Minutes to… Trained session explores the use of behavioral contracts and mandated counseling as institutional responses to concerning student behavior. Participants will learn how behavioral contracts are commonly structured, why they can create concerns related to due process, unequal standards, disability discrimination, and overreliance on behavior-focused requirements outside the student conduct process. The session distinguishes mandated counseling from psychoeducation. Participants will explore why psychoeducation is generally the preferred approach when an institution needs to address behavior. This session is an excellent opportunity for BIT members, student conduct professionals, student affairs leaders, and other campus administrators seeking to develop more equitable, behavior-focused, and educational responses to student concerns while avoiding unnecessary or problematic mandates for clinical treatment.

20 Minutes to Trained: Developing and Deploying Interventions

Join Jamie Molnar, LMHC and Allison Frost in this 20 Minutes to…Trained video as they discuss all things interventions. In this video, they describe how to effectively develop intervention plans according to assessed risk level, and how to put those plans into action. Jamie and Allison also share the importance of BIT case management – either as a process or position – for deploying interventions with students of concern.

20 Minutes to Trained: FERPA v. HIPPA v. Privilege

This 20-Minutes to... Trained focuses on BIT compliance with FERPA and HIPPA mandates. Expert NABITA faculty members Linda Abbott, L.M.H.C., and W. Scott Lewis, J.D., dive into the differences between the two laws and how those laws intersect with the work of the BIT both at the K-12 and higher education levels. Linda and Scott provide practitioners with a roadmap of FERPA, including the information that can be shared, with whom, and in what circumstances. This training is an excellent tool to provide all school or campus community members with a brief and informative introduction to FERPA. This training is a perfect opportunity for all BIT members and those who help to provide referrals or provide interventions for students.
