Behavioral Evaluation & Threat Assessment Referral Form

If a circumstance arises and it is needful for a student to report some form of disruptive behavior experienced or observed on campus (including verbal threats, physical threats, threats of self-harm, emotional distress, etc.), Richland offers the services of a Behavioral Evaluation & Threat Assessment (BETA) team.

Individuals wishing to contact the BETA team should complete the Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment Referral Form. The BETA team will make every effort to respond to those requesting assistance in a timely manner. You may also contact one of the BETA team members listed below.

Behavioral Evaluation & Threat Assessment Team Members

Members of the Behavioral Evaluation & Threat Assessment Team meet regularly, as well as in response to requests for assistance. Depending on the particular situation, other representatives (e.g. outside mental health professionals, legal counsel) may be asked to join the Team on an ad hoc basis. In addition, the Executive Vice-President of Operations & Technology is available to consult with the team as necessary. The team also consists of two licensed social workers from Heritage Behavioral Health Center.
