We Create Safer Schools, Districts, Campuses, and Workplaces

Does your school, district, or campus recognize the need for a behavioral intervention team to promote student safety and well-being but lack a clear pathway to forming, fine-tuning, or training that team? BIT and CARE teams are not just reactive measures to prevent school violence, but they are also proactive ways to address the growing need for centralized care and support for at-risk individuals. NABITA offers consulting services to all institutions. Contact us if you’re looking for a tailored training solution that suits your requirements.

Shockingly Good: How NABITA and TNG Have Elevated My Work for 25 Years 

A NABITA Testimonial by Matthew R. Caires, Ed.D., Dean of Students, Montana State University. It was 2001, and I was a brand-new Assistant Dean at the University of Wyoming, 27 years old, fresh out of my master’s program, and sure that I was the smartest guy in the room. Then in walks this lawyer, Brett A. Sokolow, J.D., who spends a full day politely dismantling everything I thought I knew about FERPA, higher education administration, student development theory, and beyond.
