Identifying and Responding to People in Distress (pdf)
Recognizing the need and benefit of having a team approach to student behavioral issues, the University of Maine Division of Student Affairs established its multi-disciplinary Student Behavioral Review Team in 2007. In creating one of the first teams to review student cases, UMaine has established itself as a leader in this area in both Maine and in the northeast.
SBRT is a team of professionals from across the campus and across disciplines that reviews cases and recommends to the Vice President for Student Affairs timely responses and interventions for student situations where student behavior raises concern. The goal is always to fashion a careful and appropriate outreach or intervention to students who are struggling in or outside the classroom.
The team depends on referrals from all parts of campus and beyond. If you are concerned about a student, please contact the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Kenda Scheele at 207-581-1406 (weekdays) or at 581-4040 (24/7). You can also reach her via email at: kenda.scheele@umit.maine.edu. Referrals can also be made via this site: http://www.umaine.edu/studentaffairs/referral
