TOPIC: The Behavioral Consultation Team

The University of Minnesota's Behavioral Consultation Team (BCT) is a team of staff from several departments across the University with administrative, psychological, academic and legal expertise. The team operates within FERPA/HIPAA requirements. Its goal is to provide a coordinated response to situations arising from students who may represent a threat of harm to themselves or others. The BCT will assist in assessing concerns about potential harm from students to self or others and provide guidance as to the best manner to handle the situation. Usually, the best approach will be for the concerned party to assist the student with a referral to appropriate resources on campus.
Other recommendations may include meeting with the student along with a mental health professional, referral to Student Conflict Resolution, referral to the office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity, and/or campus police intervention.

We hope to see you there!

TOPIC TO BE DETERMINED

Need to update your C.V. and you can't immediately recall your recent AAN Professional Development activity? Below is a a list and description of previous 2009-2010 AAN sessions:

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21
3:00PM-4:30PM

WESTBANK-CARLSON 2-219

The Community Engagement Scholars Program promotes sustained commitment
to community work and service-learning among undergraduate students.
Advisors and Student Services Staff have been part of creating the
Scholars Program and continue to be an important part of its
development. We invite you to this session as a way to promote active
knowledge and understanding of the program, as well as a way to engage
in discussion about the potential of peer leadership and learning in our
work with students more generally.

Within the Scholars program, two models of reflection have proven to be
particularly effective at fostering a sense of personal and social
responsibility while encouraging deep reflection. Reflection, Action,
Partnership (RAP) Sessions and the Integrative Community Engagement
Project (ICEP) Seminar creatively utilize student leadership and peer
learning to promote student development and provide space for students
to explore "big questions" in rapidly changing times.

In this session, staff and student leaders will share these models,
highlight specific themes and practices that have engaged students in
various disciplines, describe support provided to students, and present
challenges involved in implementation. The session will conclude with a
group discussions on how advisors can support and foster peer leadership
and learning and contribute to developing responsible citizens, leaders
and agents of change.
