Welcome to the InterACTT Blog

If you work on a Behavioral Intervention Team or CARE team, you know how quickly things move. A new law appears. A case at another campus raises important questions. Someone shares a reporting strategy or meeting process that suddenly makes you rethink how your own team operates. Most of us learn about these things in pieces: a conference session, a listserv thread, a conversation with a colleague between meetings. The goal of this blog is simple: to bring useful ideas about BIT and CARE work into one place and keep the conversation going. Some readers will want to dive into full posts, others will scan for topics that matter to them. With that in mind, here is a quick overview of what you will find here.

What You Will Find on This Blog

Legislative and Policy Updates

When new laws, guidance, or court decisions affect behavioral intervention teams, we will break down what changed and what it may mean for teams in practice.

Best Practices from the Field

Teams across the country are experimenting with reporting systems, assessment frameworks, outreach strategies, and meeting structures. We will highlight approaches that appear to be working and explain how teams are implementing them.

BIT and CARE Teams in the News

When incidents involving campuses receive national attention, we will closely examine the story and explore lessons that may be relevant to other teams.

Case Lessons and Professional Insights

Some of the most valuable learning in this field comes from real situations. Without sharing private details, we will explore patterns and decision points that teams often encounter.

Tools and Practical Guidance

From documentation strategies to communication practices, we will occasionally share tools and ideas that teams can adapt for their own campuses.

Why This Space Exists

People who serve on BIT and CARE teams often work in small circles on their campuses. Even at large institutions, only a handful of people may be directly involved in the work. That means good ideas can tend to stay local. One purpose of this blog is to help those ideas travel. When a campus develops a smart approach or learns an important lesson, sharing it can help others strengthen their own teams.

We Want to Hear from You

This blog is not meant to be a single voice. If you work with a BIT or CARE team and have something to share, we invite you to contribute. That might be a lesson from a difficult case, a change that improved your team’s process, or a reflection on a trend affecting the field. Click the link on www.interactt.org/insights to submit a post. Our hope is to build a space where professionals across the field can share ideas, compare experiences, and learn from one another. If something here sparks an idea or reminds you of a lesson from your own campus, we hope you

will join the conversation.
