While countless resources exist to help students adjust to college life and the additional stress, students may still find themselves at risk, without an awareness of these resources. One of the ways the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is addressing these issues is through the work of the Behavioral Intervention Team (B.I.T.) members.

Mission
